Mice have an unsettling presence that most homeowners want to avoid as much as possible. The best mouse control method is to prevent mice from being drawn to your home in the first place. As mouse control experts, our team here at Wright Choice Pest Control, LLC has created this short list of some of the best mouse prevention tips to implement at your home.
- Keep entry points sealed. Mice can squeeze through small openings and entrances into your home, so keep all entry points sealed to prevent them from entering. This includes any holes leading into your attic, gaps around your windows, and anywhere else a mouse could enter. Keep outdoor doors, including garage doors, closed when not actively entering or exiting your home.
- Maintain a tidy home. Like many other types of pests, mice like clutter. They are naturally drawn to piles and messes that they go to for making nests. It’s also a good idea to remove cluttered areas outside of your home, including in sheds or your yard. Cardboard boxes and everyday trash are prime targets for mice, both for food sources and nesting materials.
- Seal dry food containers. If you eliminate access to food sources for mice, they won’t be as interested in your home. Seal dry food containers to limit what mice have access to. Use containers with strong seals and keep the containers on high shelves.
