- Keep Your Yard Clean:
Clear away outdoor debris: Piles of leaves, wood, and other debris provide perfect nesting spots for mice. Keep your yard tidy and remove any potential rodent shelters.
Trim trees and shrubs: Branches that touch the roof or walls can give mice easy access to your home. Trim these branches back to prevent rodents from entering.
- Install a Door Sweep:
Seal gaps under doors: Mice can easily slip under doors with even a small gap. Install door sweeps or weatherstripping to ensure a tight seal at the bottom of doors.
By combining these preventive measures, you can create a multi-layered approach that makes your home less inviting to mice and rats, reducing the chances of an infestation this season.
