Mouse Control
To prevent mice from entering the home, all cracks, crevices, holes and gaps larger than a pen cap should be stuffed with steel wool. They should then be sealed with cement or a mixing compound. Mice are reluctant to gnaw through or removing steel wool. It is not advised that wood be used to seal these holes, as mice are capable of chewing through those surfaces.
Cleanliness may also have an effect on pest infestations. Be sure to wash dishes immediately following use. Food should be stored in glass or metal containers with tight lids. Mice acquire most of their water from scavenged food particles and no crumbs or morsels should be left on tabletops or floors.
When a home is already infested, prevention methods prove inefficient. House cats are mouse predators and mousetraps or poisons may also be useful. However, house cats and mousetraps address individual specimens only. Poisons can be harmful to humans and house pets. The most effective mouse control methods are those administered by trained, careful professionals.
