Repeated signs despite traps need a review of identification, placement and access. Ask for a monitored mouse-control plan.

The practical answer
If fresh signs continue despite traps, arrange an assessment instead of repeatedly adding devices without a plan. Tell the operator which methods have been used and where signs occur. A trap without a catch does not establish that there are no mice.
The route and setting matter as much as the device
Activity may be in inaccessible voids, other rooms or shared building spaces. The operator can discuss suitable methods and servicing while considering food and shelter. Do not use glue traps for animals; Victorian health guidance identifies their sale and use for animal control as prohibited.
What to do before the visit
- Keep a dated list of fresh signs and device locations.
- Disclose all previous products or methods.
- Keep children and pets away from existing devices.
Questions that define the work
- Has the animal been identified from evidence?
- What monitoring will show whether the plan is working?
- Who checks, removes and services the devices?
What happens next?
Ask for a clear review point and a response to continued activity. Device count is not a meaningful outcome by itself. Keep proofing and food-storage actions in the plan so control is not assessed solely by whether a trap catches an animal.
