Careful assessment of the home with an exterminator respiratory mask and correct equipment helps draw information about the infestation whilst avoiding transmittable diseases. Identifying the initial reason for mice to get in (small openings, or cracks near the bottom of garage doors, or carried in with furniture) is essential to prevent further infestations. As for the mice population within the home, a torch providing different lights aids in identifying territorial urine marks, frequently used pathways, and droppings.
Mice & Rat Extermination
An organized strategy of elimination (of current population) and prevention (of new mice coming in) can dispose of the mouse problem in your home. Combination of glue board traps and bait stations bring mice populations significantly down, especially when placed exploitively with an understanding of mice behaviour. The initial entry reasons cannot be ignored and must be blocked off, removed, or repaired in order to supress an infestation resurgence due to new intruders finding their way in.

The exterior of your home, including the roof, should be neat and free from damage; even crevices can be a problem. The yard should be kept free of litter and untrimmed conditions; even messy bird-feeders can attract mice. Leaving the door open and unattended for even a small period of time is also a big mistake.
Clean Kitchen & Interior
Sloppy kitchens can become a buffet for mice. Providing them food will allow them to thrive, multiply, and annoy you for a long time. Make sure that the entire house, and especially the kitchen, are very clean.
Interior parts of your home should also be orderly, preventing nesting sites. Areas of the house that are less visited and have crevices should be well-kept. An example would be the small room found under some stairs, usually crammed with storage.
Organized Garage
An organized garage interior will help you find mice before they make it in to your home. But how did they get in the garage to begin with? Pay attention to your garage exterior, especially the door. The weather strip of at the bottom of the large garage door might be teared, so when the door touches the pavement, there are still small gaps for the mice to crawl in.
