I did the same thing with some arlo cameras. Our house has vinyl siding and the corner pieces were a highway into the eaves. Blocked all the corner pieces with stainless steel pads. That got rid of most activity. Still had an occasional mouse. Finally realized the mice were climbing the chimney and onto the roof. Couldn't figure out the roof hole so I put a 18in strip of aluminum around the chimney so the mice couldn't climb up. Have been mouse free for a couple of years. Its an ongoing battle. Every fall I put a camera and some peanut butter into the attic to see if I get any hits. Motion activated cameras work great for tracking mice and I named one of my cameras "mouse cam" and it moves around the house.
We had a mice problem. I decided to plug the outside. I discovered a hole behind the drier so I placed aluminum over the hole. I thoroughly cleaned the kitchen. Placed all food- pasta, cookies, etc in Containers.
Was all set to do this method-till I saw the camera was $100 bucks haha. I have some old arlo cameras, maybe I will try those and ramp up the settings.
Thanks for the night camera idea! Great video!
Thank you so much, it worked. No more mice!!!🎉🎉🎉
My 2 cents. Mice may eventually chew through the foam. Stuff copper before or after the foam. You can buy lengths of copper scrub that can then be cut into sizes you need. Amazon probably.
Nice I will try this next week.
You hit it out of the park buddy! Great video. Are you gonna be near by anytime soon? LOL. Hey seriously I was told they'll eventually chew through Great Stuff. Any issues so far?
Add a few traps so you kill the mice
Thank you for making this video!!!!😃
I just had to fix three Pex hot water line pipes that the mice chewed through ,I keep rat bait under the house year round,does no good. What is a good rat /mouse poison?
Great video thank you ! Will you please advise me ? I am recovering from hand breaks and unable to access my attic and last year the entire attic floor was pumped in with new insulation loose pink almost 2 feet. For the past two weeks I haven’t been able to sleep as mice scratching hours at my bedroom ceiling and contacted pest control $700 to come here and put sensors in attic and basement (sensors tell them hours of mouse activity useless I learned) and put poison blocks in attic and insisted the mice would leave the house yet everywhere I read it says the mice will return to their nests and die and their nests are in my new insulation and the techs won’t walk on it and use a tarp or wood board so this means all these dead mice are dead in my new insulation so now it all has to be removed from the attic !!! Is there an option I’m a senior and this is horrible. They knew the mice are over my bedroom ceiling yet never closely looked at that corner of the colonial house to locate an access hole! They lied to me and told me all the mice that eat the poison will leave the house and will cost me thousands of dollars in insulation removal
Very informative and concise. I never thought about trying to record the mice. That is a great way to find their access holes. Good job!
The blink cameras suck. I bought that one, the newest version of it and it can't see mice 2 ft in front of it. The batteries wear out fast and the subscription is annoying.
I thought mice just stay inside the house, especially in the walls, attic. Also, once you find and fill in the hole, what will prevent mice from chewing in a hole in some other spot?
Best mouse trap in the world……wait for it…..wait…
…..it is a CAT!
You dont need that can upside down unless you dont shake it proper.
big rock foundation with no mortar I do not know if this will work for me without motaring whole basement
Camera would be stolen within an hour in my neighborhood.
We had an exterminator come just today and they put down baited traps inside the house, and then went around both inside and outside and filled all of the cracks and holes with a black spray foam that is impregnated with copper shreds, all of this was $375.
Thanks, this is actually pretty genius and I can't believe I didn't really think about just pointing cameras back at my house.
After watching this video; the last couple of years my mice problem has got worse. I haven't found out where they're coming in from, but I noticed I have stray cats.
Great video. Do you need to also pay for a subscription for the blink camera?
My question is how long should I leave it, if I have no movement? One night, two, a week?
I heard scratching in my ceiling and saw a mouse up there. I looked for holes and found a near 2 inch gap under thw electrical box on the outside. I filled it, i got some electric traps and we will see what happens. Hopefully i can get it. I cant get over near where its scratching, but i hope itll smell the peanut butter and come
I just realized after watching this video that I have been ATTRACTING mice INTO my house by using peanut butter bait in a Havahart trap placed inside my attached garage. DUH! Since the cold weather is here I"ve been catching 10 to 15 mice a week. Wish me luck plugging up the holes !!
NO!!! the mice runed around at 10:00 am while I WAS WALKING AROUND day light 😰😰😰😰
They did chew a new hole in the drywall in my son's room. A hole started appearing one day and when i opened it up a bit, i could feel around the inside that it widened out on the inside. I can't imagine what else could've done that. I've been meaning to set up some cameras to figure out where they're getting in at for sure. Honestly though, i think it's under my neighbors garage door as we're in a duplex that's connected by the garages. I know exactly where they're coming in on the inside of my house.
At exactly 4:26 you will see another set of eyes to the right where another mouse was possibly hanging out by the wall trying to follow his buddy lol
I'm trying to figure out if they climb up the gutters and go through the soffit. In the past year, I also had 12 trees removed as I create a kill zone around the building and to keep the tree rats (squirrels) off the roof. My neighbor had a problem with mice and now I do coincidentally. Can you try using a Seek or Flir (entry level, not the $400 pro versions) to spot these entrances or even spot the rodents? I've read they need a hole the diameter of a nickle.
Sealing the entry points from pests it's called 'exclusion'. A friend of mine is a certified exterminator (who is also suffering greatly from a rare, undiagnosed abdominal disease …coincidentally?) shared this little factoid with me.
Great video sir, thanks 👍🏻
If you got vinyl siding, your corners are all hollow
Why wouldn't you just track the mice from inside? So much easier. You know where the mice have been and can just use tracking dust to find how they got in.
As for using expanding foam to stop mice or any rodent, total waste of time. rodents love to chew, they especially love to chew on expanding foam, it is literally one of their favourite things to chew. In fact it is probably an attractant to mice, rats and squirrels as they love it so so much!
We are intrigued Silver Cymbal, how long did you remain mouse free? 😉
I'm not sure if there has been in the foam but a few years ago when I was doing this same thing I noticed that there is no difference between the Pestblock foam and the regular foam in composition at least on the labels. But they do charge more than $1.50 extra for the "Pestblock" but it doesn't claim to have any pesticicde or anything else. Just use regular foam.
I love-hate mice. There are gentle, meek creatures, but the infestations! Mice like nice orange tractors, too.
The turkey 😂
Every offspring has the location of the hole imprinted and programmed in it's little brain. Generation after generation
Great job
I had a dirt floor basement crawl space. Can they get in threw the ground under the cement foundation
