Controlling mice in and outside your property can be difficult because they can enter a house or building through a hole the size of a dime. If you have mice in your home, it’s likely they were looking for food, water, and shelter ideal for nesting and snuck in through a small opening. A detailed inspection from Plunkett’s is a great place to start for getting and keeping rodents out.

Or move away from the hood.
I live next to a vacant field, but have never had a mouse in my house! My house is sealed better than Fort Knox.
And remember, there is almost always more than one…
I wiped out the mouse population in a friend's house this month. Used mouse traps, bait, electronic zappers, and glue traps. The first day I caught five in traps. LOL. House and garage seem clean now.
Actually, when your garage door is open. It is big enough for the mouse to get in. If the hole is big enough for a car, it is big enough for a mice.
In the PNW, most homes have a dirt crawl space with plastic covering the floor. You're screwed. Mice will find a way in.
In the short of things…mice can't be prevented from entering your house or garage.
Yeah! But you should drop out soon!
No mice in a well built stone house with concrete basement walls
That Pesky cat that liveswith me handles the rodents. I chase the cat!
Suprised he didn't mention the corners of the vinyl siding (corner trim pieces) mice can go right up there all the way up, they even make a product for that spot called kriiter cap
I don't know how mice got into my home, but I do know how a few well-placed sticky mats can get rid of them.
I have been placing about 2 tablespoons of water in a plastic lemonade lid with 2 to 3 drops of peppermint oil. Put them under my sinks underneath some furniture where my dog won’t get them. On shelves furniture. Mice do not like peppermint smell but spiders don’t like it either and scorpions and also snakes it’s a very good repellent. I have not seen a spider in my house in the last three months since I’ve been doing this. I also spray peppermint water around my property every five days or so so the bull snakes don’t come in my backyard.
So basically there is no way to stop them. Got it.
My cats bring them in and hide them

Great video!! Don't forget to check crawlspace if the house has one. Seal up any pipes going up into the house. Especially gas lines to stove or clothes dryer
And do not leave your garage door open! They can run thru your interior door at you feet and you will never see them.
I got a cat and it brings 3 or 4 dead mice at my door every night in the summer. I never knee so many of mice are running around outside at night.
So basically you're screwed

I had a couple of mice get into my house one week. My cat made sure they were taken care of.
