Using Glue Mouse Traps & Other Tips For Mice Control
When the need calls for it glue mouse traps are effective tools for catching and eventually getting rid of mice altogether
. Though it depends on how bad your mouse infestation is it is always better to be prepared for the contingency that mice have made a permanent home in your house. Because the unfortunate truth is that if you see only one mouse scurrying around all over the place, odds are there are at least several more than are crawling around the walls somewhere just waiting to snatch at a plate of food that was carelessly left out in the open.
Mice only ever eat when they are hungry and you can be positive that they will eat with glee at the first chance they get. They will exploit any small cracks and holes in the wall to navigate the labyrinth that is your home - in fact, mice can squeeze themselves in a hole the size of a dime if they have to. Such small holes are oftentimes overlooked by homeowners as a minor nuisance that "can be fixed later". Well, putting it off will only increase the likelihood that mice will plant a flag in your house and make it their own. By following a few strategies on mice control - including laying down glue traps for mice - you can help stave off their invasion.
Besides sticky mouse traps, you can help prevent mice from getting inside your home in the first place by inspecting the exterior of your home for cracks and holes that will allow mice to get in. Shore up your porch and extensions to the home with hardwood boards or other material made specifically so mice cannot bite through them. If you find holes in the wall, first put some metal wiring atop it and then cover it over with a paste that will harden. The steel wiring will break the teeth of any mice trying to chew their way out and will really ruin their day.
For mice already in your home leave unset glue traps in areas you know mice travel through and then after a while set them. Leaving the traps initially unset will lull the mice into complacency until bam! They become trapped and you can properly and safely dispose of them. Also, do not leave food or water where mice can get to them; this is just asking for more of them to turn your house into a hotel for rodents.
With tips like these - and a few mouse glue traps - your home will become mice-free in no time!
