Three Ways To Rid Your Home Of Mice

If you have mice taking over your home, you want to get a handle on the situation, as soon as you can. The longer you allow those mice to remain in your home, the more damage they will cause, and the more chances of them spreading diseases there will be. There are a few different ways you can go about mice extermination, in your home. Here are some options you have available to you:

Use ultrasonic pest repellant units

You can use ultrasonic pest repellant units to get mice to leave your home. One of the greatest benefits of using this type of repellant is the fact that you won't have to deal with removing the bodies, like you would have to do if you used traps. You also get the benefit of knowing that the units are chasing the mice out of all areas of your home, as long as you are using the correct number of units for the square footage of your home. An ultrasonic unit will let off a sound that will drive the mice from your home, without bothering the people or pets that live in your home.

Use peppermint oil to get rid of the mice

You can also use peppermint oil in order to chase the mice right out of your home. Mice can't tolerate the smell of peppermint oil, so they will do their best to put as much distance between themselves and the peppermint oil as possible, which means fleeing your home. The best way to make use of the oil is to dip cotton balls in peppermint oil, place the cotton balls in cloth baggies, and then hang the baggies around the house. Make sure you cover the entire house, including the basement, attic, and garage.

Get a mouser cat to get rid of the mice

If you don't mind the idea of bringing a pet cat into your home, then you can take care of two things at once. You can add a furry family member, who comes in the form of a cat, and bring a natural born mouser in the house, at the same time. Your cat will be on full alert and will actually have a good time getting all of those mice out of the house. As a vigilant hunter, your cat will make it so no more mice come back to take the vanquished foes places.
