Mice are predictable in many ways. This fact makes homeowners more able to make decisions and lifestyle choices that keep rodents at bay. However, many homes and businesses are still plagued by mice infestations. If you are looking to deter mice from making your house their home, begin by knowing their favorite places around your property.
Mice love barns and sheds
Offering privacy and protection from predators as well as the weather, barns and sheds are ideal places for mice to set up camp. If you have a barn or shed on your property, chances are high you will have mice there at least once. Keep holes or gaps in the exterior of the structures sealed up, and make sure you don’t have a food source inside in order to make your building less desirable.
Mice love garages
Rodents love a good garage. Not only is a garage typically warmer than a detached shed, there are more chances for the rodents to sneak a meal thanks to unattended garbage cans or poorly secured dog food. Keep your garage safe by keeping all food well sealed and by plugged any holes with steel wool.
Mice love kitchens
While it is not common for mice to set up their home in your kitchen cabinet (they don’t want a close call with a human), they will look for a place nearby. Your kitchen offers plenty of crumbs and pieces of food, and your house is the perfect temperature. To avoid mice in this area, be sure your counters and cabinets are always wiped clean.
Mice love your attic
Your attic is another prime real estate spot for mice who are looking for a home. With plenty of nooks and crannies between boxes to hide in, and with protection from the elements, your attic offers mice everything they want. Make sure your attic is well sealed and gets cleaned out at least once per year.
