How To Keep Mice Out Of Your Home In Pittsburgh
Â
Mice can be an absolute nuisance in your home. They can chew through wires and other items, contaminate food, and spread disease. If you want to keep mice out of your house, there are a few steps you can take to prevent them from entering and make it difficult for them to stay once they do gain access.Â

Create BarriersÂ
The best way to keep mice out is by preventing them from getting into your home in the first place. This means sealing off any potential entry points that they could use to gain access.
Look around the exterior of your home for any small gaps or holes that a mouse could fit through and seal them off with caulk or steel wool.
Additionally, you should look for any loose screens or vents that may provide easy access as well. Furthermore, if you have any stairs leading up to your door, make sure they are completely secure as mice love using staircases as a highway into homes.Â
Remove AttractionsÂ
Mice will enter homes looking for food and shelter, so it’s important to remove any items that might attract them. Keep pet food stored in air-tight containers and avoid leaving crumbs or other food lying around on counters or floors–mice love nothing more than an easy meal!
Additionally, limit clutter inside your home as much as possible; mice love hiding in piles of clothes or boxes so try to keep everything tucked away neatly so there aren’t many places for them to hide.   Â
Use Traps/RepellentsÂ
In addition to prevention measures, using traps or repellents is another great way to keep mice out of your home. Traps are effective at catching existing mice while repellents help discourage new ones from entering the area.
Consider using peppermint oil around areas where rodents often enter; the strong scent deters mice without causing harm to people or pets living in the space.
You should also set traps with bait (peanut butter is particularly effective) around potential entry points; this will catch any wandering critters before they get too far into your home! Â
