When temperatures drop, mice often enter homes for warmth and food. No matter how clean you keep your home mice will try to get in. Any crack or crevice along doorways and foundations will allow the pests indoors. Additionally, these unwanted guests don't arrive empty-handed; mice bring along a host of parasites and disease organisms when they enter homes.
Please visit the Illinois Department of Public Health website to help protect your home from mice this fall and winter.
