Find out how mice get in!
Mice can fit through even the smallest of gaps!
Look for the rat sign!
There are so many ways for mice to get in!
There are rat signs in places where rats often pass through. Rat signs are areas where rats have passed through that become black with dirt from the rat's body, droppings, and urine. Rats don't have very good eyesight, so they have the habit of moving around by rubbing their bodies against walls. Black stains, droppings, and chewing marks are proof that there are rats! Taking measures in areas where there are rat signs will make it easier to catch rats!
All right!
