Mice Control

Mice Control Solutions

There are several tried-and-true methods for handling a mouse infestation:

• Trapping & removal:
  Traps are the most common approach for capturing mice. Homeowners can use snap traps or humane traps to remove mice from their property. These traps should be placed in high-traffic areas like attics, basements, and along walls where mice typically travel.
• Exclusion techniques:
  The best way to keep mice out is to prevent them from entering in the first place. Sealing gaps and holes in the home’s foundation, walls, and around windows is crucial. Common materials used include caulk and steel wool, both of which mice are unable to chew through.
• Poison baits:
  In some cases, poison baits may be recommended, but this can come with some risks—especially if there are pets or small children in the home. We would be lackluster not to caution you: professional advice on mice poisons is essential for safe use.

Pro Tip: While these methods can help in controlling mice, they often require continuous monitoring and proper execution to prevent reinfestation.

DIY Mice Control And Prevention Tips

What you can do yourself to protect your home from mice

While professional help is often necessary, there are certainly steps you can take to prevent and address a mice infestation on your own. Here are some practical DIY tips to help reduce the risk of mice entering your home:

• Set up mouse traps:
  Place traps in areas where you’ve seen signs of mice, such as droppings or nests. Mice droppings are small, about 1/4 inch long, with pointed ends. Ideal spots to check include attics, basements, and dark corners of rooms.
• Seal entry points:
  Did you know that mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a quarter of an inch? Inspect your home for cracks, gaps in walls, doorways, and windows, and seal them with steel wool or professional-grade caulk.
• Keep your home squeaky clean:
  Mice are attracted to food sources and debris. Store food in airtight containers, clean up crumbs, and avoid leaving food out overnight.
• Use peppermint oil:
  Some homeowners that we’ve known, swear by the use of peppermint oil to repel mice. Indeed. In our experience, sometimes dabbing a few drops on cotton balls and placing them near entry points can deter mice from coming inside.

Pro Tip: “These simple measures can make a big difference, but if the problem persists, our professional team is just a phone call away.”

How to Prevent Mice Infestations: Tips from OPP experts

In our view, prevention is key to avoiding any future infestations. Along with professional treatments, homeowners can implement a variety of preventive steps to keep mice at bay.

• Inspect your home regularly:
  Check for holes, cracks, or gaps where mice could enter. Check for mice droppings and other signs of mice, such as nests (often made out of soft materials like shredded paper, fabric, and insulation) or footprints and tail tracks, on areas near your home’s foundation, vents, and utility lines.
• Clear outdoor debris:
  Mice can use piles of leaves, firewood, and other outdoor clutter as shelter. Keep your yard as tidy as possible to discourage these rodents from nesting nearby.
• Store food properly:
  Use sealed containers for food storage (and this includes pet food), especially in typical problem areas such as the kitchen, pantry, and basement.
• Keep trash sealed:
  Use lidded garbage bins both inside and outside your home to prevent attracting mice.

These preventive measures, combined with our expert treatments, can help offer long-term protection against mice.
