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.
