Monterey wildlife control tip of the month:

How to Get Rid of House Mice

Firstly, to get rid of house mice, it is important to check the places through which the rodents are getting into the house. Are there any, even the smallest gaps in the house? Thorough Monterey animal control examination is essential: check windows, doors, basements, walls and even the roof. After the examination the gaps should be carefully sealed with thick material in order for mice not to get in or to get out from the house.

After all openings are sealed – trapping follows. Install Monterey pest control traps with bait in the places where mice usually gather for food. Remember - do not put any poison as bait. It will make the situation worse as mice will crawl to die into the walls or under the floors evaporating very bad odor and creating hazardous environment for the family in the house.

Also, consider which Monterey wildlife removal method to use. Try being humane and use catch-and-release traps. Once the mice are caught they can be release far away from the house. If this method does not appeal, try the most humane killing method - snap traps. Mice will die instantly, without suffering. Cleaning after all the mice have been caught is essential. Mice after themselves leave lots of droppings, urine and a peculiar smell. Not keeping good sanitation may grow mold on the floors, walls, roof and other wooden structures. The smell of mice‘s feces may attract other mice. In order to avoid this, vacuum the droppings clean the urine and use a proper cleaning product to exterminate any bad odor. Remember that mice have very sensitive nose, clean your house properly.

To prevent the house from other mice invasion it is recommended to overlook house constructions and its sanitation rather than using repellents. Mouse repellents as mothballs, peppermint oil, mint and bay leaves, Monterey animal trapping electronic sound devices are considered to be not at all effective. For mice it is more important to have a shelter and food supplies rather to leave a house due to some smell or sound. In conclusion, getting rid of mice requires time, effort and money. Leaving unattended house openings, openly storing food in the basement, poorly sealing the gaps or careless cleaning after mice invasion may cause the recurrence of another mice flock. If it takes too much of your time, do not hesitate and seek for professional Monterey exterminator help. There are many professional mice exterminators who know every small detail about mice routine.
