I hear noises in my walls and ceilings, what can I do?

Inject Solutions - pest control & wood preservation - ea...
I recommend installing the Injector Plugs as close to the problem area as possible. If you’re not sure what kind of infestation you have, you can apply one type of treatment (e.g., for mice) and then, if the problem persists, try a different treatment (e.g., for ants or termites) using the same plugs. You can easily install an Injector Plug in the floor of a closet or other out of the way place.
