Chimneys: Gaps around chimney flashing or uncapped chimneys might let rodents into your house. Put on a chimney cap and do routine gap inspections.
Pipes and Utility Lines: Mice may have easy access to gaps around pipes and utility lines when they enter your home. Use expanding foam or another suitable sealer to seal these.
Pet Doors: If pet doors are not properly fastened or sealed, mice may also be able to enter via them. Installing pet doors with magnetic sealing or tight-fitting closures is a good idea.
Electrical Outlets and Switches: Mice can enter through tiny openings near electrical outlets and switches on external walls. To close these gaps, use foam gaskets made for switches and outlets.
If there is significant damage or if you are unable to find all of these entrance locations, expert assistance is advised for sealing and repairs. Rodent Control can examine your house and locate all avenues of entrance. They also offer advice on the best materials and sealing methods. By taking this action, homeowners can stop pests from entering their houses and causing harm to their belongings.
