Step 1: Identify The Source Of Your Problem

The first step in cleaning up a mouse infestation is to identify where they are coming from. This is often easier said than done since mice can squeeze into extremely small spaces. If you suspect that your problem is coming from outside, inspect around foundation walls and vents for signs of entry points.

If you think the mice are coming from inside, look for signs of chewing on food packages or droppings in cupboards or drawers. Once you have identified the source of your problem, you can move on to step two. 

Step 2: Determine If Mice Are Still Present

Once you’ve identified the source of your problem, it’s time to determine if there are still any mice present in your crawl space. You can use traps or bait stations to catch living mice, as well as look for droppings or nests that may indicate their presence.

If there are still live mice present, it’s important to take action quickly before their numbers increase or they spread further into other parts of your home. 

Step 3: Clean Up Droppings & Nest Materials 

Once all live mice have been removed from the area (or if no live mice were present), it’s time to clean up any droppings or nesting materials left behind by them.

It is important not to touch these materials directly since they can carry dangerous diseases such as salmonella and hantavirus.

Instead, wear rubber gloves and use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter attachment to suck up any debris left behind by the rodents. Dispose of this material safely according to local regulations once finished cleaning up so that no further risk is posed by having them around your home or yard.
