What keeps rodents away from your house?

Block your entry with putty or weather stripping to seal small holes in the base, siding and doors. Cover the holes with adhesive tape and insert steel wool into the vents to deter entry without restricting air flow. Steel wool is impossible for mice to chew and will naturally deter rodents. Shrubs and branches basically invite mice and insects into your home.

Cut your road to the house by trimming the bushes outside your home. Be sure to keep the woodpiles at least 20 feet away from the house, since mice like to nest in piles. A close inspection along baseboards or near any holes in the floor, such as where radiator pipes pass, can show friction marks or gnawed areas where rodents have chewed for access. A live trap is a humane, poison-free way to trap and release rodents while alerting you when they are entering your home.

Wrapping problem areas with rodent tape (which is treated with components also found in chilies) can help prevent mice from returning. You can place some garlic at the entry points where rodents enter and, if they find it, they will flee and look for another place to infest. Once you've found some potential entrances, seal them tightly to prevent rodents and other pests from entering. Rodents are usually easy to handle if you know how to get rid of them, and traps would be a good answer to your problem.
