What to Do if You Find Mouse Droppings in Your Home

Before it escalates, read this guide for all you should do if you find mouse droppings on your floors and furniture. Learn which home solutions alleviate the problem temporarily and which ones lead to a permanent house mouse-free solution.

Let’s get started!

Don’t Panic

If you found mouse droppings in your home, don’t panic. Take some deep breaths and try to remember that mice are more afraid of you than you are of them. They’re probably just as scared as you are and just want to find a way out.

Even if the mouse dropping is an eyesore in your home, you should exercise caution. When we panic, we tend to forget the correct way of doing things which may cause harm to our health.

Immediately Disinfect the Area

It is essential to disinfect the area immediately to prevent the spread of disease and keep your family safe. Use a disinfectant to clean the area and wash your hands thoroughly.

Mouse droppings can contain harmful bacteria that can cause illnesses such as salmonella and hantavirus. Always be sure to wear gloves and a mask to decrease the chances of getting sick from mouse droppings.

Identify the Entry Point and Block It

If you find mouse droppings in your home, it’s important to identify the entry point and block it. You may be asking how to seal these mice entry spots now that you know where to look.

The secret is to utilize a substance that mice find challenging to eat or gnaw through. Steel wool made of copper is one of these materials. It is challenging to chew through because doing so will cause their front teeth to become trapped.

Take Preventative Measures

There are a variety of preventive measures that homeowners may take to prevent and eliminate rodent infestations in their homes:

  • Quality cleaning
  • Keep food in airtight containers
  • Get rid of the trash
  • Keep crawl spaces well-ventilated

If you have done these and still think it’s a serious mouse problem, it’s time to call a professional exterminator for rodent control.

Keep Mouse Droppings Out of the Way Now

Your house is your haven, so keeping intruders out of it requires the strongest defense possible. Homeowners can also perform pre-treatments on their properties.

Don’t forget to call a professional pest control company to come and assess the situation. Do not try to handle it yourself, as you could end up making the problem worse.

So, what are you waiting for? Get rid of those mouse droppings now!
