How to Get Mice Out of House Walls
Mice often live in hidden areas within homes, including storage boxes, attics, lofts and wall interiors. Mice are capable of fitting through extremely small openings in floors, walls and foundations. After they enter homes, they are extremely difficult to exterminate.
Mice living within walls rarely leave their nests during daylight. Their presence is made obvious by gnawing and clawing sounds. Before attempting extermination methods, homeowners should properly identify their pests as mice. Other pests are also known to reside within walls and may require different extermination methods.
Rodents living within walls do emerge in search of food. At this time, homeowners may capture or kill mice through the use of traps or poison. Homeowners may also lure mice out of walls with food bait. However, in the event of severe infestation, traps oftentimes prove inefficient. Professional pest control methods may be necessary.
