How to Get Rid of Mice in Walls Mice infestation in the house is a common problem. Mouse and other rodents intrude residential properties in search of food and shelter. Once they get their desire fulfilled they stay back and multiply. Mice generally hide in covered areas such as boxes, lofts, attic space and behind the interiors of walls. You can only get fleeting sites of their silhouettes as they always stay away from human glare and venture out at night in search of food. This makes them very difficult to catch. But catching them is a must otherwise they will multiply fast and infest the whole house. They also cause significant damage to wall interiors, wooden surfaces and your food sources. You can only feel their presence in the tracks left behind by them and biting or chewing marks here and there. However, there are a number of ways of mice removal.

Luring and trapping is the only way

Mice intrude households in search of food, so the best way of mice removal is by luring the mice with food. You can lure them with food in spring loaded traps, glue traps etc. However, while catching them you must be aware that they are visiting your house in search of food, and they have no intention of harming you. So you should only catch them and relocate to distant places.

Professional mouse catchers are best To catch rodents you need to be aware of their food habits and life cycle. Professional Mice Removal Services are experts in catching the rodents and are very well aware of their food habits and life cycle. So it is always advisable


to hand over the task of catching the mice to a professional mice removal service. They also decontaminate the infested areas after complete removal of the pest. However, if you want to do it yourself you can do that by following the right procedure.

How to get rid of mice in walls Seal all entry points The first task is to seal all the entry points to your house. This will ensure that new infestation does not take place as you go on removing the pest from the wall one by one. Mice have very strong teeth and jaws. They can enlarge even a dime of a hole in the wall or roof of your house to wriggle through it. So every hole should be properly sealed. Even the entry points of service lines like electricity and water facilities connecting to your house should be properly sealed so that the mice cannot scratch at them and make way into your property. You can set up one way exclusion funnels in the primary entry points. You can also place mouse traps at these points.

Traps Whether you are placing mouse traps at the entry points or throughout strategic points of the house you should place suitable baits. Peanut butter makes good bait for mice. Use a number of simple spring traps to trap several mice hiding in wall interiors. Keep them at strategic locations, preferably close to the walls, overnight and find them trapping mice in the morning. Relocation Trap and relocate the mice to distant places until you can hear no more scratching, gnawing or clawing sound at night. Once you are sure that there are no more mice left in the house decontaminate the attic and other places and remove the rodent droppings.
