6. Keep Your Home Clutter-Free
Mice love hiding spots. Regularly declutter your home, especially storage areas and basements. Keeping spaces tidy makes it harder for mice to nest and hide.
7. Use Steel Wool as a Barrier
Stuff steel wool into holes and gaps. Mice can chew through many materials but struggle with steel wool’s sharp texture.
Bonus Tip: Natural Predators
Encourage natural predators like owls or install a humane barn owl box nearby if you live in a rural area. Even a pet cat can be a deterrent.
