Why DIY Mouse Removal Often Fails

Most people will panic when they see mouse droppings or other signs of a rodent problem. They seek immediate vengeance, feeling as if their home has been invaded by unseen pests—which is true, it has, but are DIY methods effective?

Traps and poisons are often touted as the best preventatives for mice. While these methods could kill one or two mice, there are usually more where they came from. So, why does DIY mouse removal fail, and what are the best ways to remove a rodent infestation?

Read on!

1. Incomplete Eradication of the Infestation

Mice can breed quickly, racking their numbers and infesting a space in no time. Unfortunately, if you eliminate one or two mice, there is likely more left behind, and those few can reinfest your home with more offspring.

2. Ineffective Traps and Baits

Store-bought traps and baits offer temporary relief, but sometimes mice are more intelligent than DIY methods, rendering all techniques ineffective. Plus, one or two traps will fail to address the entirety of an infestation.

3. Overlooking Entry Points

Mice are masters at maneuvering through the smallest openings. They can chew holes in wood, shred insulation and wiring, and scurry through ventilation and water pipes, especially in homes where routine maintenance has been overlooked.

4. Inadequate Knowledge of Mouse Behavior

Rodents are smarter than most people think. Their intelligent habits, behaviors, and survival instincts make it harder to eradicate infestations. DIY methods are a no-go if mice can outsmart your techniques.

5. Health and Safety Risks

DIY methods can be more dangerous to you than they are to mice. Exposure to chemicals and toxins from poison-based traps could harm your health, making you sick and allowing rodents to reproduce and worsen an infestation.
