Things to Consider When a Mouse is in the House
- Mice are usually more scared of you than you are of them.
- If possible, close off the room or area where the mouse is located to prevent it from accessing other parts of the house.
- If there's an open window or door nearby, gently encourage the mouse to leave by opening it.
- If there are no open windows or doors nearby, create an exit route by opening a window or door in a nearby room.
If you find a mouse in your house, it’s important to handle the situation carefully to ensure the safety of both yourself and the mouse.

Why is There a Mouse in My House?
Mice Are Living There
Mice Presence
Look for signs such as scratching noises, nesting materials, or visible mice in or around your attic. Inspect your attic and the exterior of your home for any openings or gaps that squirrels may be using to enter. Common entry points include vents, gaps in the roofline, damaged soffits, or gaps around utility lines.
Mice Exclusion
Once you've identified entry points, seal them off to prevent mice from entering or re-entering your attic. Use materials like hardware cloth, steel wool, or caulk to block gaps and openings. Be thorough in your sealing to ensure mice cannot find alternative entry points.
Remove Attractants
Mice are attracted to food sources like bird feeders or pet food left outdoors. Remove these attractants to discourage mice from entering your property. After removing mice from your attic, clean and disinfect the area to remove any nesting materials, feces, or urine. Wear protective gear, such as gloves and a mask, to avoid contact with potentially contaminated materials.
