As mice do everything possible to find a warm shelter when the temperatures keep dropping, there are signs that can help you know if you’re getting some unwanted guests.
By paying attention to your home or facility in these easy ways, you can help keep mice (as well as rats) from entering and disturbing you.
Openings – check your openings to see if there are small spaces where mice can squeeze through. It only takes a small hole next to a pipe or between siding to give them a way in.
Doors – inspect your doors for the same things, openings! Small cracks or breaks in the bottom of a door will allow a rodent to sneak right in and start the infestation.
Cleaning – is your home or facility clean? If not, you probably are attracting (and hosting) mice!
Gnaw Marks – look for bite marks on different surfaces, from plastic to wiring to insulation and more. They have a great power to gnaw through everything but stainless steel (even poorly cured concrete).
