Why do I have a mouse infestation at home and how do I keep them away?

by
  • Peppermint essential oil  : An unbearable smell for mice. Soak cotton balls in the oil and place them near entry points.
  • Bay leaves  : they disrupt their sense of smell.
  • Cloves  or  white vinegar  : simple but effective solutions.

  1. Set humane traps

Choose live traps that capture mice without killing them. Then release them far from the house, in a wooded or agricultural area.

What if the invasion persists?

If, despite your best efforts, the mice are still present, it may be necessary to call a professional pest control specialist. These experts have more powerful methods while respecting safety standards.

Preventing a new invasion

  • Inspect your home regularly , especially in the fall and winter.
  • Store food in airtight containers.
  • Install rodent-proof screens  on ventilation openings.

A mouse infestation can be unpleasant, but it’s not inevitable. By understanding their habits and taking simple, natural steps, you can restore peace and quiet to your home… without war or poison.
