How to Mouse-Proof Your Home: The 10 Entry Points Mice Use Most

Mice fit through a hole the size of a dime. Here are the ten entry points our rodent technicians seal most often and how to inspect your home before fall.

By the Pest Control In US team

Every fall, mice move indoors across Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado and every other state with a real winter. Trapping helps; sealing is what ends it. These are the entries our rodent control crews fix most.

  1. Gap where the garage door meets the slab
  2. Dryer vent with a missing or broken flap
  3. Gap around AC line set and utility penetrations
  4. Unscreened weep holes in brick
  5. Rotted corner of the sill plate
  6. Gable vents with torn screening
  7. Gap under exterior doors
  8. Crawlspace vents with missing screens
  9. Openings around plumbing under sinks
  10. Where the roofline meets a chimney or dormer
