Eliminate food sources
Clean countertops thoroughly, seal food tightly, empty trash cans regularly, and never leave kibble or crumbs accessible.
Use natural repellents
Peppermint essential oil: an unbearable odor for mice. Soak cotton balls in the oil and place them near entry points.
Bay leaves: They disrupt their sense of smell.
Cloves or white vinegar: simple but effective solutions.
Set humane traps
Opt for live traps that capture mice without killing them. Then release them far from the house, in a wooded or agricultural area.
What if the infestation persists?
If, despite your efforts, the mice are still there, it may be necessary to call a professional pest control expert. These experts have more powerful methods available while respecting safety standards.
Prevent a new infestation
Regularly inspect your home, especially in fall and winter.
Store food in airtight containers.
Install rodent-proof screens on ventilation openings.
A mouse infestation can be unpleasant, but it’s not inevitable. By understanding their habits and applying simple, natural measures, you can regain peace of mind in your home… without war or poison.
