The various ways to get rid of mice

Mice are unwanted intruders in the home, and can be difficult, but not impossible, to remove. There are many ways to get rid of mice, though the first task is to take away the temptations that draw them to the house in the first place.

Leaving food out, not cleaning thoroughly and letting weeds and undergrowth to flourish in the garden are all ways to encourage the rodents to thrive.

Food needs to be stored in airtight containers, because mice can chew their way through boxes and bags, and even cupboard doors. They eat almost anything, but have a particular liking for grains and nuts, as well as seeds and various types of fruit.

Mouse droppings are very distinctive (and plentiful if you have an infestation), so it's easy to see where the mice are going in the home. Mice tend to travel only short distances from the nest, so it's not difficult to pin down where they're living.

Traps are an effective way to keep the mouse population down, but many people find them inhumane and unsavoury to use. However, there are live traps available for those that don't want to kill them off completely.

Poisons can be an effective method to remove mice, particularly those that enable the mouse to take the poison back to the nest. You need to move fast, however, because a single couple can produce 100 offspring every year. To get rid of mice, you need be quick.
