How can you control mice that are already inside of your home?
Unfortunately, once mice have found their way into your house it is more time consuming to get rid of them than if you are just trying to keep them out. Luckily for you, there are 3 simple steps that you can take now to control rodents that have already made themselves at home. By applying these steps, you will keep them from invading your space in the future, too.
-
The first thing to remember is that mice need food, and by that I mean your food. Placing a Fresh Cab pouch in areas where food is stored will prevent the little thieves from feasting on your goods. Make sure that boxed items, such as cereals and pancake mix, are stored in plastic or glass containers. Then you can place pouches in pantries and under sinks, or anywhere around food. Since this is an all-natural product do not worry about Fresh Cab contaminating your edible items.
-
Second simple step: remember to protect the areas of your home that provide easy access for the rodents. Keep in mind that rodents are excellent climbers and can fit through holes 1/3 their size. Place a Fresh Cab pouch around vents and holes created for cables. There are many other areas to protect too, like doors, windows, dryer vents, crawl spaces, and drop ceilings. Put yourself in the shoes of a mouse, what would you do for food, water, and warmth?
-
Finally, remember that mice rely heavily on their sense of smell because their eye sight is very poor. They create and maintain "scent trails" that they follow each and every time they move around. You can spot these scent trails by locating smear marks and tracks against walls, in corners, and behind appliances and cabinets. You can block these routes by placing a Fresh Cab pouch near the route. The rodents won't be able to smell the scent trail - all they will smell is the woodsy balsam fir scent of Fresh Cab. Remember it is a pleasant smell to you and me, but a scent rodents despise!!
So, with these three simple steps you will eliminate those pesky rodents from your home and you are well on your way to keeping them out. Happy rodent hunting all.
-A single pair of mice can produce 15,000 offspring in one year!
