How can I remove mice from my house?

Out of all the wild animals found in Florida, mice seem to have the easiest time getting into our houses because they’re so tiny. Mice can slip through an opening the width of a dime, meaning that the tiniest gaps and cracks is all it takes for these rodents to invade your home. Once inside, mice will soon make their presence known by gnawing away at insulation, fabric, wiring, and other materials.

Depending on how bad your mice infestation is, you might be able to solve the problem on your own. First, determine what areas of your house mice are active in; mice often live in basements, attics, and inside of walls, while kitchens are frequently targeted by mice looking for food. Place mouse traps in the areas where you think mice are moving about. You can bait these traps with just about anything, though peanut butter, nuts, and sugary cereal are some of the baits that seem to work the best.

However many mice you manage to trap, your problem won’t truly be solved until your house in Jacksonville is inaccessible to mice. Inspect the perimeter of your home carefully to find any possible mice entry points. These may be as obvious as a huge hole in your siding or as inconspicuous as a tiny slit in the foundation that you only see from a certain angle. By sealing off these entry points, you can prevent more mice from infesting your home and prolonging your problem.

For the fastest and most thorough mice removal services, you should hire a professional pest control company. Reach out to Coastal Wildlife & Pest Control Services today if you’re looking for mice control services in the Jacksonville area!
