How to eliminate mice — permanently
A proven sequence thousands of homeowners have used to end infestations and keep mice out for years.
Inspect
Find droppings, nests, and entry points.
Seal
Close every gap larger than 6mm.
Trap
Place traps along active pathways.
Sanitize
Safely clean contaminated areas.
Prevent
Remove attractants & monitor monthly.
The sealing step is where 98% of homeowners fail
Traps kill the mice you have. Sealing stops the next generation. Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a pencil — so proper exclusion is non-negotiable.
- Use steel wool + silicone caulk for gaps under ½”
- Install copper mesh + hardware cloth for larger openings
- Check dryer vents, utility entries, and foundation cracks
- Verify 30 days post-control with activity monitoring
