Manufacturer's explanation! Practical guide to dealing with mice at home
When mice invade a home, they pose a variety of risks, including food damage, damage to electrical wiring, and infectious diseases. Mice have a high reproductive rate, and if left unattended, the damage will spread, so it is important to take action early. In this article, we will introduce some effective mouse control and prevention measures that you can take at home.
Preventing rodent damage
Identify and prevent rodents from entering your home
Mice can get in through gaps as small as 1.5cm. The main ways they can get in are as follows:
- Gaps in windows and doors: especially in the sash areas of older homes
- Drains and pipes: Kitchen and bathroom
- Attic and underfloor vents
- Air conditioner piping hole
(I.e.
Seal the gap with putty or wire mesh
Apply tape to the door
Mesh cover on drain
Use Prevent Putty to fill holes and gaps!
This putty is specially designed to seal holes and gaps that mice can use to enter, preventing them from invading and building nests in homes.
Contains chili pepper ingredients
The putty is mixed with capsaicin, a component of chili peppers that mice dislike, which has a repellent effect that keeps mice away.
With gloves
Gloves are included in the package to keep your hands clean during application.
Keeping the house tidy and clean
Mice have a keen sense of food and will be attracted to food scraps and trash in your home.
Take precautions by storing any items that could serve as food for mice in airtight containers.
(I.e.
Thorough daily cleaning and tidying
Use trash cans with lids
Store food in airtight containers
If there is already a rat infestation
You can get rid of them by using sticky sheets, repellents, and rodenticides. These items can be purchased in the gardening section of home improvement stores or at drug stores.
Capture with sticky sheet
The standard item for dealing with mice is the sticky sheet. Professional extermination companies basically lay out a large amount of sticky sheets to capture mice all at once.
Key Points
Installed mainly with rat signs (rat footprints, droppings, etc.)
Carefully observe the mouse paths and areas of damage, then set up traps appropriately.
When setting it up, place newspaper underneath
By placing newspaper under the sticky sheet, you can remove dirt from the mouse's paws.
Install as many as possible
As a guideline, we recommend installing five or more panels in one location.
Keep them away with repellents
Repellents are items that repel mice by releasing an odor that they dislike. There are various types of items, so choose one according to the location and purpose of use.

Complete eradication with rodenticide
If you want to thoroughly exterminate mice using chemicals, we recommend using rodenticides. Rodenticides work by making mice eat poisoned bait.
Key Points
Once you have set up the rodenticide, leave it there for 2-3 days and observe the condition. Check the setting location every day and check the condition of the poison bait.
If the bag is torn or missing, refill it. Repeat these steps until the rats are gone.
Requesting professional pest control companies
If the rodent infestation is severe or you are unable to deal with it on your own, we recommend consulting a professional.
The three basic steps to dealing with mice in your home are to prevent them from entering your home, to prevent them from feeding on you or giving you materials that could be used to build nests, and to take immediate action if you find them. Take early action before the damage gets worse and maintain a comfortable and safe living environment.
