Have you heard scratching noises inside your house? Do you see mouse droppings in your basement, or worse, in your kitchen cupboards? There are effective ways to control them. Preventive Pest Control-Las Vegas can help.

Rodent Prevention

Preventing mice from ever entering your house is the best method of control. Inspect your home all around the foundation. Look for cracks and holes that serve as entry points for mice, and seal those up with something pretty solid that mice can’t chew through or dig around. Cement, metal, even rocks can plug a hole and keep mice out. If you can’t seal it, install valves that let mice out of your house, but don’t let them back in.

Trim overhanging branches. Clear out old piles of construction material, wood piles near the house, and anything that gives mice the cover they prefer. Make them feel exposed and uncomfortable around your property.

Inside, declutter corners, rooms, and storage areas. Mice love to nest inside things, so store your belongings in plastic boxes and seal up the cardboard ones. Get rid of extra furniture, piles of papers, or anything that helps mice navigate comfortably through your house. Keep cupboards shut tight. Check all outside doors and seal them well. Make sure the garage door has decent seals around it and don’t forget the windows.

Keep food (including pet food) stored in metal and plastic containers. Mice are good jumpers and climbers. Seal around plumbing fixtures so they can’t travel inside the walls from floor to floor.

Rodent Elimination

There are a variety of traps available to stop mice. Kill traps come in spring style, glue style, and poisons. Use these only where pets and children can’t reach them. No-kill methods include box traps that catch the mouse without hurting it. If you prefer not killing the mice that get inside your home, please be aware that you need to remove them a serious distance from your house or they will simply return. Check traps regularly. Sealing your house is the most humane way to coexist with rodents.
