Instructions

    • 1

      Inspect your entire home. Try to determine where the mice or rats are dwelling as well as where they are entering and exiting your home from. Look for droppings or bite marks throughout the home.

    • 2

      Seal off any cracks or holes that may be in any walls or doors. A good way to seal openings is to use steel wool mixed with a caulking compound. This will prevent the rodents from being able to crawl throughout your home.

    • 3

      Set rodent traps in strategic locations around your home. Set these traps near doors, windows, sinks, and trash cans. Check the traps daily and dispose when necessary.

    • 4

      Set poison bait near the traps and in other areas around the house that the rodents may frequent such as near entrances to the home, as well as behind large appliances such as the stove and refrigerator.
