Our homes end up being havens for these little critters, who may find plenty of warm, sheltered spots to raise their young. They also thrive on scraps of food from our garbage and find a lot of things in our homes to be good nesting materials (like cotton, pet hair, insulation material, etc.).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Their population usually tends to grow during the winters, when our homes are well-heated, and their natural predators are hibernating.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mice-remedies.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"871\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mice-remedies.jpg 871w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mice-remedies-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mice-remedies-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mice-remedies-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_okay_to_live_with_mice_in_your_house\"><\/span>Is it okay to live with mice in your house?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While house mice are harmless on their own, a mice infestation comes with a lot of side effects that can cause long-term damage to your house and loved ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For one, mice can damage your home appliances by chewing on wires, wood, furniture, and more<\/strong>. Exposed wires caused by mice chewing through them can even cause house fires if you don&#8217;t replace them in time. Besides, a large population of rodents can cause structural damage to your home. It can even result in your home becoming unliveable due to the odor and stench of their droppings\/urine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the other hand, mice can also spread several diseases like hantavirus, leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and more<\/strong>. In addition, improper handling\/cleaning of rat feces and urine can result in a pungent chemical odor in your house that can cause retching in children.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_signs_that_you_have_mice_in_your_house\"><\/span>What are the signs that you have mice in your house?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Rat or mouse urine can often leave an<strong> ammonia-like smell<\/strong> in the air, which can cause stuffiness.<\/li>\n<li>Look out for<strong> gnaw marks on wood, plastic, and other appliances<\/strong>. Mice will often gnaw things to keep their teeth short.<\/li>\n<li>Mice often make a <strong>grinding, scratching, or squeaking sound<\/strong> when they are most active.<\/li>\n<li>You can often see<strong> fur marks, smears, and trail<\/strong>s on the floor.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ll find<strong> tiny pellets of mouse droppings<\/strong> on the floor and in the corners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_rid_of_mice_naturally\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How to get rid of mice naturally?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_essential_oils_like_peppermintclove\"><\/span>Use essential oils like peppermint\/clove<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"first-sentence-half\"><span class=\" mf-jss766 mf-jss767\"><span id=\"editable-content-within-article~0~0~0\" class=\"mf-jss768 mf-jss769\">Strong, pungent aromas like clove and peppermint oils can repel mice. All you need to do is place cotton balls dipped in these oils in your cabinets, room corners, and entrances. While they may not entirely reduce your mice problem, you can still control it to a certain extent.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple_cider_vinegar\"><\/span>Apple cider vinegar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"first-sentence-half\">Make a mixture of 2\/3 parts apple cider vinegar and 1\/3 parts water and spray it along the corners of your room and in damp, dark spaces.<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deter_them_using_mothballs\"><\/span>Deter them using mothballs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When using mothballs, try to target locations you think are frequented by mice. Mothballs can be toxic to humans as well, so it&#8217;s best to place them in containers and then put them in strategic points around your home.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Place_open_ammonia_bottles_in_spots\"><\/span>Place open ammonia bottles in spots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The smell of ammonia can trick mice into thinking it&#8217;s the urine of a predator. The only drawback to this is that you will have to stomach the smell for a while until you see results!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_steel_wool_to_pack_spaces\"><\/span>Use steel wool to pack spaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mice often end up gnawing off insulating materials and other fillers you place in between the walls of your home. Try putting steel wool instead, which is much harder to gnaw and can hinder the movement of mice.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seal_entryexit_points_with_tape_or_sealant\"><\/span>Seal entry\/exit points with tape or sealant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Look for entry\/exit points along the corners of your room and seal them off using a good sealant. You can also use duct tape, but make sure you use multiple layers to prevent mice from gnawing through it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_up_mouse_traps\"><\/span>Set up mouse traps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Snap traps are a time-tested way to kill or capture mice. The only issue is that for large infestations, you will have to set up multiple traps throughout the house for it to work.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Place_kitty_litter_at_strategic_points\"><\/span>Place kitty litter at strategic points<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What better way to scare off mice than signs of their natural predator? Even if you don&#8217;t own a cat, you could probably ask your neighbor or anyone who owns one to help you out here. Even a whiff of their natural enemy can make mice turn tail and run.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_a_pet_cat\"><\/span>Get a pet cat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having a household cat is the most natural way to keep mice at bay. Not only can you avoid using pungent odors and chemicals, you also get a furry companion in return! Make sure no one in your family has cat allergies, though.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/home-insurance-steps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Home-insurance-savings.png\" alt=\"Why to get rid of mice home remedies\" width=\"794\" height=\"294\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_to_get_rid_of_mice\"><\/span>How long does it take to get rid of mice?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It depends on the severity of the mice infestation and the kind of method you use.<strong> If it&#8217;s a mild or moderate nuisance, you will be able to reduce your infestation in 1-2 weeks<\/strong>.
