Tips to prevent mice
To prevent a mice infestation, there are a number of things you can do. Here’s how you can keep mice out.
| Tips | The action |
|---|---|
| Store food in tins | Mice love food and gravitate towards it. It is important that you clean up your dishes immediately, don’t leave food leftovers and store food in tins. |
| Watch pet food | That mice gravitate to food is obvious. Have you also thought about your pets’ food? Mice love kibble, birdseed and fat balls. Keep your pets’ food in sealed containers and clean up leftover food in the containers or in the cage. |
| Make and keep your home clean | A few crumbs in kitchen cupboards, under the fridge or under the cooker are enough to attract mice. To us, they are invisible places, but not to mice. So clean your home thoroughly. |

What means are there to control mice?
Check the chart below for an overview of the different mice control agents.
| Type of mice control agent | The action | Mouse exterminator |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Mousetrap | The well-known mousetrap is a relatively old way to control mice. This is a pesticide that works for a small mice infestation, but you do not use it to control a large mice infestation. | The mouse exterminator knows exactly the difference between nesting sites, running routes and habitats where to place the mousetraps and applies more control tactics if necessary. |
| 2. Seal gaps, holes and seams | By sealing gaps, holes and seams, you block the entrance and passage to your home for mice. This pesticide is not 100 per cent waterproof. A pest controller is needed to get to the root of the problem. | The mouse exterminator seals the cracks, holes and seams in the process, so that in turn saves you money, work and time. |
| 3. Chemical pesticides | Mouse poison is a blood thinner. The mouse gets internal bleeding from the poison and dies from it. This does happen only after the mouse has eaten the poison several times. | The strong poisons should only be used by specialists. This is because the specialist knows how to use this poison properly and safely. |
| 4. Electronic repellent | An electronic repellent contains no chemicals or poison. Mice hear sounds that humans cannot hear. The sound changes constantly, leaving the pests irritated and stressed. It does not damage the hearing organs of mice. | This pesticide does not work if you use it as your only remedy. The pest controller often uses several pesticides at the same time. |
