But living in a place like that exposes you to a never-ending supply of mice. And you can keep killing them if you like, but you might feel like you have a mouse genocide on your hands. If you’re tired of the rodent bodies piling up, then let’s discuss ways to keep those rats and mice from ever coming back.
The kitchen is usually ground zero for pest problems, because most pests want to eat your food. Therefore, if the kitchen is kept as clean as possible, that will greatly reduce pest issues.
So every night, make sure you wipe down every surface (table and countertop), take out the trash, wash all the dishes and sweep the floor. The key is to remove any loose food particles, which will attract rodents. Additionally, you should store all leftovers immediately, and keep pantry food in airtight containers.
Not water or gas leaks, but air leaks – basically, openings that can be exploited by rodents. So check the exterior walls for cracks or holes that could be used and seal them up with caulking. You should also inspect the seals around doors and windows. Not only will weak seals allow entry for mice, they also contribute to higher energy costs. So improve them with additional weather stripping.
