Smells – mice are attracted to smells of food. They will hunt all day long for their food source. If you store your animal’s food in the barn or building, you will want to keep the food in a metal bin to eliminate the smell of the food lingering in the air. The same thing goes for your home; you will want to keep the food in containers that a mouse cannot chew through. It’s hard to find a way to store food in your kitchen that can keep a mouse out, but you need to do whatever it takes to keep them out.

Trim trees – When a tree branch hangs low or close to your building or home, a mouse can use it to get on the roof of your home or building and enter underneath the eves of the roof.

You can always count on mice to enter your home when the weather begins to grow cold outside. They scurry around to find shelter for the winter and have their babies close to a food source so they can not only weather the winter in your home, but they can eat well too.

Don’t assume that mice are gone or are not around you because this isn’t true. Mice are fast breeders so they will always have babies and those babies grow up and look for their own homes.

Keeping mice out of your buildings and homes is going to be something you must stay on top of. You want to ensure that you do a building inspection with every change of the season so you can make sure that your home or building is mouse-proof.
