Repeated from House Mouse Description:
How to get rid of mice. The house mouse (Mus musculus) is considered one of the most troublesome rodents in the United States. House mice thrive under a variety of conditions. They are
found in and around homes and farms as well as in open fields and agricultural lands. House mice consume and contaminate food meant for humans, livestock, or other animals. They cause damage to structures and
property, and they transmit diseases such as salmonellosis and swine dysentery.
Although house mice usually feed on cereal grains, they will eat almost anything. They are sporadic feeders, nibbling bits of food here and there.
Mice have keen senses of hearing, smell, taste and touch. They are excellent climbers and can run up any rough vertical surface. They will run horizontally along wire cables or ropes
and can jump up 12 inches from the floor onto a flat surface. Mice can squeeze through openings slightly larger than 1/4 inch in diameter.
Getting Rid Of Mice
There a three very important steps to take in driving out mice from your home. All three steps are critical for total success. Total success is defined as:
Eliminating the rodent problem that already exits in you home or business, and preventing the rodent infestation in the future.
Steps 1 and 2 will help drive them out. Step 3 will help keep them out.

1. Create an uncomfortable environment so the rodent will not want to stay.
Now that your home has been invaded by
the unwanted rodents, you need to start creating an uncomfortable environment for them so they will want to leave for another location.
The DX610 Electronic Pest Repeller works by transmitting a powerful range of ultrasonic sound waves in the 45,000 Hz range. The
auto-changing, high intensity frequencies and pulse sequences were designed to output at known auditory sensitivity ranges of pests, like rats, and mice. Lab and customer field testing have shown, for
example, that rodents, like mice or rats, will leave the area for a less aggravating and stressful environment.

2. Modify the Habitat.
Make sure that the areas around the perimeter of your home are cleaned of debris and weeds. Cut the tall grasses and weeds around the home or office, eliminate any piles of debris,
and secure any storage containers so rodents, like rats and mice can't seek shelter. For trash cans, secure the lids. For compost containers, make sure they are covered and latched. Proper sanitation is an important
step in controlling house mouse populations. In particular, eliminate places where mice can find shelter. They cannot survive in large numbers if they have few places to rest, hide, or build nests and raise their
young. Total elimination of mice through sanitation alone, however, is almost impossible. Mice can survive in small areas with limited amounts of food and shelter. Most buildings where food is handled or stored will
have problems with house mice, no matter how clean they are if they have not been "mouse-proofed."
The interior of your home, especially the kitchen, is a primary target for Rodents like Mice, Rats or field mice, so keep the counters clean, and all food tightly sealed. Eliminate
leaky faucets, fix leaky pipes, don't leave food on the floor for your pets at night, remove the clutter from you counters, and keep your kitchen sink clean and free of food particles.
3. Exclusion.
Mouse-proof construction is the most successful form of house mouse control. "Build them out" by eliminating all openings larger than 1/4 inch through which they can enter a
structure. Steel wool makes a good temporary plug. Seal cracks in building foundations and openings for water pipes, vents, and utilities with metal or concrete. Doors, windows and screens should fit tightly. Cover
the edges of doors and windows with metal to prevent gnawing. Latex, plastic, rubber, wood, or other gnawable materials are unsuitable for plugging holes used by mice.
There are many ways, as you can see, for the Mice to get into your home. Follow the above three steps and you will be on your way to living mouse free!
