Tips To Get Rid Of Mice

22 June 2022 by Norah Slieker

Rodents are curious pests and invasive ones at that. They will chew through any number of things in order to get what they want. They'll chew through siding, wood, as well as door and window seals to get what they need to survive. Rodents such as mice can be difficult to get rid of, as they may go unnoticed for a while before you begin to notice the signs of these pests. One or two can go easily unnoticed, but eventually, these pests will begin to bring their friends and family to your home to invade your space. If you have an issue with these pests, you need to get on top of the situation before you have a major infestation on your hands. Read on for some tips.

Inspect For Signs

Inspect your home for signs of rodents. You want to be able to get rid of them and be thorough, so if you have them throughout your home, you need to inspect it to be sure you are setting traps where you have seen signs. Inspecting your home for signs of these pests can also help you determine if you have a major problem or a minor one. If you are seeing signs throughout your entire home, you may have a major problem. If you only see signs in one part of your home and not too many signs, you may only have a minor issue. Some signs of these pests may be feces, which looks like small black sprinkles, or you may see torn bits of fabric or paper. You may also see bits of food around as well.

Set Traps Around The Signs

Set rodent traps around where you have seen the signs of the rodents. If you see feces in a specific area of your home, you should set the traps along a nearby wall. If you see a trail or food, you should set the traps in these areas as well. Set and reset the traps in the areas where you have noticed the most signs of the rodents, check the traps often, and then set them over and over again until you are confident you have gotten rid of all of these pests.

Rodents are a difficult pest to have to deal with. They are sneaky and can go unnoticed for a while. Contact a mouse removal service near you for more information.
