Mice Control

Mice control is not something you want to look into half-heartedly. If you've noticed a mouse or other rodent pest control problem, it's going to be something you should take care of right away. Sometimes you can see an obvious cause for the interest, such as improperly sealed food packaging, and a nice warm house in the winter time. Sometimes there's no obvious reason, and you just find the mice in the house anyway. Your mice control plan can start now, either way.

In addition to getting rid of the mice that have already entered your house, if there's some obvious reason that they're there to begin with, you're going to want to address that. Experts say the best place to start rodent control is outside your house. You need to assess the situation and begin with rodent control procedures. After that, sealing up cracks and filling in holes will help, although mice can enter through pretty tiny spaces.

In addition to fixing the spaces big enough for the mice to enter, you're going to want to be sure to reassess your food storage. If you've noticed any tracks in any of your food, you're going to want to throw it out, of course. After that, you're going to want to take steps to resolve the problem and help keep the rodents out from now on. Proper food storage with fully sealing containers will help. If the mice can't smell the food as well as they used to, it might keep them from coming to look for it--helping you to get rid of the mice.

Now that you've gotten the house and food situation resolved as best as you can, you know that those aren't the problems. You can turn your attention instead to what you can do on your mice control plan as far as trapping and/or killing the mice.

Rodent control can be a hassle, but you're going to have to take on the job, because you don't want to deal with the problems you may have to face if the infestation is left untreated. Do you have pets or young kids in the house? Do they spend time in the room or rooms you plan to use for your pest control methods in? If so, that might help you decide against using certain traps or poisons.

You don't want to have them get into anything they shouldn't, or get sick or injured, so you'll have to look into other options. You may decide to use a self-contained type of fully enclosed trap for your mice control. These may or may not be what are referred to as humane mouse traps. This type is designed to trap the animals alive so that they can be removed from the premises and relocated elsewhere.

If you don't want to deal with moving the mice to another location, and you don't mind the mouse being killed in the mouse trap, there are also types that kill the mice and let you dispose of them without having to see them. If you'd really prefer not to see the dead mouse, this might be the trap for you.

Whatever your mice or rodent control needs, you should be able to find traps that suit them, and make some changes around the house to help as well. Remember to keep in mind the preventative options to help prevent any further issues.
