When it comes to dealing with mice, you probably feel like you’ve already tried everything. Traditional mousetraps, sticky traps, poisons—the list goes on. But if nothing seems to work, and mice just keep coming back, you might need a little professional help. Rodent exclusion can help you ensure mice don’t come back.
What Is Rodent Exclusion?
Like the name implies, “exclusion” in the rodent removal world means “to keep out.” The goal of rodent exclusion is just that.
Your cozy, warm, snack-filled home is as attractive as a giant gingerbread house to mice, so even if you trap one or two, more may be interested in taking their place. Rodent exclusion keeps new mice from entering your home by identifying mouse entry points and blocking them off.
Where Are Mice Likely to Enter?
Mice can squeeze through some very, very small entry points, so any cracks, gaps, holes, or open doors in your home are possible entry points. During rodent exclusion, your rodent control professional from The Dead Pest Society will check all the possible weak points in your home’s defenses, including:
- Foundation cracks
- Gaps under doors
- Attics
- Windows
Not only can entry points be small, they can also be difficult to find behind dead grass, weeds, and flowers left over from summer gardening. Having a professional check all the likely places and seal them against further mice entering is a way to make sure mice don’t just leave your home, but stay out.
