Cold weather is coming and so are the mice! It is very common to see (or hear) increased mice activity inside your home during the fall months as these mice look to establish a safe haven for the cold winter ahead. If you hear scratching or scurrying in your walls, the mice have found their way in.
Of course you don’t need to wait until they make their way inside. Instead, you can take preventive measures right now to keep them from getting inside and forcing them to seek shelter elsewhere.
To help keep mice out this fall and winter, consider the following tips:
- Seal gaps at the exterior of the building where siding or framing meets the foundation
- Remove window A/C units
- Inspect door and window frames for damage
- Make sure garage doors are aligned and closed promptly after use
- Add screens to roofing and dryer vents
- Replace worn door sweeps
- Keep firewood stacked away from your house
- Seal gaps around entry points for utility lines
