How to Prevent and Control Mice
Successful mouse control involves more than simply laying down a few traps. It requires an integrated approach combining mice prevention, exclusion, and pest control treatments.
- Seal All Gaps and Entry Points
The first and most effective step in mouse prevention is to eliminate all potential entry points. Mice can get through openings as small as 1/4 inch, so carefully inspect your building, particularly around foundations, walls, doors, and access points for utilities. Use non-gnawable materials like metal or concrete to seal these gaps, as mice can chew through plastic, wood, and rubber. - Improve Sanitation and Remove Food Sources
Mice are attracted to easy food sources. Secure all grains, cereals, and pet food in airtight containers. Good sanitation alone won’t get rid of mice, but poor hygiene will attract mice and support ongoing infestations. By reducing available food and shelter, you make traps and baits more effective. - Use the Right Mouse Control Tools
We offer a range of professional pest control services, including the use of snap traps, live traps, and tamper-proof baits. For long-term issues, our mouse exterminators can advise on the best methods to control mice, manage mouse infestations, and catch mice safely and humanely.
