Over the last month or so, we enjoy found 2 mice in our living room and cannot see an unconcealed place of where they are coming from. How on dust do I find out???
Answers: Mice can get contained by through very small areas. Much smaller than the mouse looks to fit. I would utter from my battles next to these critters, is they find an opening surrounded by the floor. Usually a water pipe hole. Electrical channel. Sometimes the do an aerial assault and come from the roof.
I first entity to remember about mice and rats is they similar to quiet places to set up house keeping. A nice verbs and well organized house not provide biddable hiding places. Closets full of boxes or clothes make an just the thing home.
Poisons work, but, should they die somewhere in or lower than a house the results are their last work of defiance and they really cause a stink.
Traps are usually the best approach. Sticky traps work, but, it play on the emotions as we own to do something with the stuck mouse as it Squeaks helplessly contained by fear. I use the apposite old snap traps (Being fussy not to get a finger or place where on earth a child find). Set them along walls as mice not see well and travel the walls. You be surprised you really not entail bait. I use a little peanut butter. After catching/killing the mouse I clear up the trap to remove the kill smell as over time they will stay away from the trap.
But, as far as find a hole. Get a flashlight and crawl along the walls (ALL walls, this include lower than cabinets, where on earth ever there a wall). look for holes from the size of a dime/nickle and bigger. You can poke some Steel Wool Scrubbing pad in the holes (S.O.S. pad without the soap, soaped may work, I basically use plain). The pads they chew to go and get back through the hole they know and it rips them up inside slaughter them. With this you may have equal problem as with poisons and they die close.
It is nearly impossible to hold mice out of a house, invest in a few traps.
