What treatment and precautions can be taken?
Rodents like mice mainly come inside your home in search of food. Grains, seeds, and fruits are their first preference of food. They mainly favor foods with high carbohydrates. To keep the grains away from their reach there are a few measurements that can be taken.
- Close their entrances by sealing the holes of the house. Seal it from both inside and outside to prevent their entry. You will find these gaps around the kitchen cabinets, inside the closet, near fireplaces, in the laundry room or basement. You can use steel wool to fill the small holes.
- You can also lay surprises, laying appropriate snap traps, and placing peanut butter around it will bring you effective results to catch them. Place these traps around the place where they roam frequently.
- Keep the sources of their food away from them and keep the grains in a metal container close it tightly. Clean the spilled or spoiled food.
