Hearing tiny footsteps in the ceiling or seeing tell-tale droppings? Mice might be cute in cartoons, but in your home, they're destructive and unhygienic. Before a small problem becomes a full-blown infestation, take control with our professional DIY action plan!
Your 3-Step DIY Mouse Control Solution:
STEP 1: SEAL THEM OUT (THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP!)
Mice can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime! Grab a flashlight and inspect your home's exterior.
-What to Use: Seal cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, and holes under sinks with steel wool, copper mesh, caulk, or hardware cloth. Mice can't chew through these!
STEP 2: ELIMINATE THE BUFFET
A mouse only needs crumbs to survive. Remove the temptation.
-Clean & Declutter: Wipe down counters, sweep floors, and store pantry foods like cereal, pasta, and pet food in airtight glass or metal containers. Don't forget to manage your trash!
STEP 3: DEPLOY TRAPS STRATEGICALLY
For any mice already inside, you need to act.
-Trap Type: We recommend classic snap traps or electronic traps.
