So what should you do to keep mice away if mothballs or ammonia do not work? Well, the answer is pretty obvious if you think about it, you have to mouse-proof your residence. This is definitely a bit more effort than scattering some mothballs or cotton balls soaked in ammonia, but it has proven results and will help you keep pests out of your home easily.

If you want to keep mice out of your yard, consider repairing any broken sections of your fence, keeping your yard extremely clean and tidy, and consider getting a cat or a dog. If you are worried that they can get into your home somehow, try doing a full inspection of your home. If you notice any holes or gaps that a mouse can fit through (and they can fit through very small holes so look closely), repair it so that they can’t gain access to your home.

If you take the time and resources to mouse-proof your home you will lower your chances of dealing with any pest that may get inside.
