If you have issues with mice in your home, know that you are not alone in having this problem, as nearly 1/3 of all households have reported rodents in their homes. We will explain how to keep mice out of your home by first looking for what us professionals at Mice Hunters look for in an initial inspection. We also discuss some mouseproofing tips and tricks.

The mouse infestation in this home has been uncovered by Jason from Mice Hunters, who found evidence of mice in both the kitchen and the basement. Mice Hunters has been referred to conduct the work of mouse proofing and exterior sealing by another company that has already completed phase one of the mouse proofing, which includes the use of poison baits.

The shingle siding that goes all the way around the home presents a challenge regarding mouseproofing since it makes it difficult to maintain the sealant where it is required. This is one of the primary challenges. To solve this issue, a mesh material made of 1/4inch wire mesh can be used, as demonstrated by Jason, to block the access sites where the mice can get in. This will prevent them from doing so.

In addition to this, it is vital to clean out and then seal any weep holes that may be present in the brickwork. The weep holes in brick are intended to allow moisture to escape through the back of the brick, but they also need to be cleaned and sealed to prevent rodents from entering. Jason says that there are a lot of weep holes, which makes the process of sealing them a substantial one because there are so many of them.

Dealing with the porches of the house is another matter that needs to be resolved as soon as possible. These porches have a tongueandgroove decking material installed over the top of the face. Mice Hunters are required to either go through the lattice or, in this case, go underneath the lattice in order to successfully seal the foundation against mice entry. Due to the fact that the lattice has been well made and does not move, this work is challenging because it needs excavating underneath it in order to get to the house and seal the siding.

While Jason was going around the house, he came across an entry point where rodents like mice and chipmunks have been getting in. He took out a brick to illustrate the access point and found that there is another spot that has to be sealed off. As he points out, the house's utilities, such as the air conditioning unit, are also potential entry points for mice.

Mice are able to find their way into any home, regardless of the home's age, condition, or value. They can enter via openings no larger than the tip of your ring finger, which is why it is necessary to deal with potential access points. The fact that the ivy is growing up the side of the house can also make it simpler for the animals to move around and enter the home.

In conclusion, it is critical to mouseproof your home in order to prevent mice from entering. A substantial portion of the process involves addressing the entry sites, which may include the shingle siding, weep holes, and porches, among other potential entry points. In addition to that, it is essential to take care of the utilities and the growth of ivy. Mice can enter any home, but if you take the precautions that have been outlined here, you can stop them from making your home their permanent residence.
