Have you seen mice scurrying about inside your Winston-Salem, NC home? Maybe you have seen chewed clothing or chewed holes in your furniture? If so, you might be dealing with a mice infestation.

Proven Home Remedies For Mice Extermination 

Mice can eat almost anything that can withstand their teeth, and this can lead to extreme damage to your home or business. The following are home remedies for mouse extermination that will help get rid of mice in no time!

Instant Mashed Potatoes

Sprinkle some mashed potatoes where mice frequent. Once they consume the potatoes, their stomach will expand and eventually rupture causing death. Make sure the mashed potatoes are out of reach for your pet and little children.

Introduce Natural Predator

Cats are mice hunters. Introducing a natural predator such as a cat is the easiest way to get rid of mice. Your home will be rid of mice in a matter of days. 

Steel Wool          

Fill all cracks and holes on the wall around your house with steel wool. The wool irritates mice's teeth and they can’t chew and get through in your house.

Use Humane Traps                                                                      

If you need to keep mice away from your home without the interest of harming them, it's best to use humane traps. After catching a single mouse, you can freely release it into the wild.          

Onions    

The use of onions can be a little bit tricky since they can rot in just a few days. The pungent smell of onions will make mice avoid frequenting the areas where you have placed the onions. For best results, you should place a fresh onion daily. There is no need to use poison to get rid of mice while there are such simple home remedies for mouse extermination that you can use.
