Here are some precautionary measures that you can do it yourself and significantly thwart the breach attempts of the rodents in to your homes.
- Check exteriors for entry points and plug them
Rodents are highly motivated to get into your homes using the tiniest of the holes and thinnest of the crevices. By natural blessings they are able to squeeze through these ungainly gaps so you must seek out these entry points and plug them tightly. Take a walk around your home and check walls, foundation, basement and barn to check for them and use steel wool to seal the entries. Mice will find cutting through steel a tough job and give up. Sealing the entry points is the only way you can prevent them from seeking asylum inside your house. You can also use a caulk gun to seal the small gaps and crevices by directly spraying caulk in to them.
- Get rid of vegetation around home
If there is thick vegetation or foliage around the foundation get rid of them and keep at least 3 feet clearance between them and the wall. The extra bush and brush near your foundation is the premium entry points for rats and mice to get access in to your homes.
- Cover deck or porch with mesh
If you have deck or porch that you can access from below cover the bottom with fine mesh and this will prevent mice from making entry. Make sure to install mesh which is finer because mice can easily squeeze through tiniest size holes with consummate ease.
- Stop feeding rodents
Keeping food items or source outdoors will attract mice. Clear away trash cans, bird seed, vegetables, fruits and other leftovers from your exterior. You must ensure that no edible items are littered outside your walls because food smell attracts rodents. Seal trash cans and keep bird seeds to minimum.
- Do not invite mice indoors
Keeping interiors nice and clean is one way to keep mice from entering your home. Clean all surfaces by removing food crumbs and anything that has the smell of food. Use a disinfectant if necessary and pay attention to the following:
