Why do I have a mouse infestation at home and how do I keep them away?

How to get rid of mice naturally?

1. Plug the entrances

As with a castle, start by securing the access points. Use putty, steel wool, or metal gratings to seal all holes, even the smallest ones.

2. Remove food sources

Clean work surfaces thoroughly, seal your food tightly, empty the trash regularly, and never leave kibble or crumbs accessible.

3. Use natural repellents

• Peppermint essential oil  : An unbearable smell for mice. Soak cotton balls in the oil and place them near entry points.
• Bay leaves  : they disrupt their sense of smell.
• Cloves  or  white vinegar  : simple but effective solutions.

4. Set humane traps

Choose live traps that capture mice without killing them. Then release them far from the house, in a wooded or agricultural area.
