There are places in your home that you may not realize are susceptible to a mouse invasion.

That means the basement, closet behind the stairs, and other nooks around your home may be particularly vulnerable to a mouse getting in and wreaking havoc.

A battle made all the more difficult if your neighbors aren’t quite as tidy or cognoscente of the dangers mice bring. If mice find a place to call home near or in your home, you can bet they’ll make their way inside leaving droppings and the risk of disease to your family.
