Several times over the last several years however, a mouse has gotten in and chewed this or that up. So, just what did JP do that you were unable to? Did they literally block up every entry point and did they more or less guarantee that they’d be able to achieve that? Have you retained their service annually since then or was it one and done?
What they did is seal places I wouldn't ever have thought about nor been able to (easily/safely) get to as well as install exterior systems to keep activity outside.

For example, I have vinyl siding and the tech found trim that mice could get into that would never have occurred to me.

Also, we have some trees that the tech said made it easy for squirrels to get into places.

Every quarter, they come out and inspect and treat, based on the season and activity, and I've had no ants, mice/rodents, bats, bees, wasps, etc. etc. for at least five years. I'm a cheap guy, but I feel it's been money we'll-spent.
