How to detect mice in home?
Mice may go undetected for months as they are stealthy and mostly take residence in hidden places in your house. They will enter wall crevices and expand them from inside, use your barn to build nest, and lay undetected in your basement. Mice do not come outside during day time because they are night creatures and will venture only when it is dark. This will make it difficult for you to detect mice presence. However there other ways than sighting that you can use to detect mice and they are:
Noise
Mice being nocturnal will become active during night. Sound of their activities such as scratching, running along the wall, jostling under floorboards or making screeching sounds in the false ceiling will be sure giveaways. The noises will grow more when you have a whole clan camping in your home and you may even wake up from your sleep hearing those noises.
Pet Behavior
When you have strangers or beings in your home such as mice, your pet dog or cat is likely to behave odd. They will become alert and start searching under the bed, fridge and other house hold furniture with low clearance. They will use their paws to search and also bark looking at a particular direction. This is clear indication that you have unwanted guests such as rodents in your home.
Use traps to catch mice
If you find only a few mice after sustained observation you can catch them by placing traps. This old method never fails to work. You can also use glue traps and bait stations if necessary. You must place the traps where mice frequent. Mice make runways along the wall and planting a trap there will fetch desired results. Mice mostly invade kitchens as it is overpowering with food smell and you can place trap under the sink or behind the kitchen fridge. This will work if you have limited number of mice living in your home. If it is a colony comprising of several dozen mice then you will have to use methods other than mentioned above and that will require the use of chemicals. Rodenticide is powerful mice exterminator and it will need knowledge, expertise, experience and license to use.
