When mice look at your home, what do they see? When you fail to consider what makes your home attractive to a mouse, it’s like putting out the welcome mat.
“Come on over to our house,” they hear. “Make yourselves at home.”
If you build it, they will come.
Bringing with them the dirty, smelly droppings and dried urine streaks on well-travelled highways. You’ll notice teeth-marked edges on the mouse-sized holes chewed into boxes or bags. Plus, they leave crumbs of this and that for you to clean up.
A mouse nest in the back of the stove is only to be expected. The ready supply of insulating materials combined with dropped food is the stuff little rodent dreams are made of.
Cohabitation with mice isn’t what you had in mind? Consider this: the core of mouse control lies with the actions YOU can take that a pest control service won’t address.
Whether removing indoor temptations, closing off access, or surveying the attic, I always recommend looking at your home through the eyes of a mouse. To help you do just that, please access The Mouse Control Checklist at https://infograph.venngage.com/ps/5M9JxXvUZ48/the-mouse-control-checklist.
