How to Mouse-Proof Your Home Before Winter: A Step-by-Step Guide for Canadian Homeowners

Health Canada says mice can squeeze through a crack the size of a dime, so mouse-proofing a Canadian home means sealing every exterior opening at least that big, packing steel wool or copper mesh around pipes before caulking, then removing the food, water and nesting material that draw rodents in. Traps come second, set at right angles to the wall and baited but unset for three to four days first. Poison is a last resort: Health Canada says baits should never be the only method of control. Never sweep or vacuum dry droppings, soak them in one part bleach to nine parts water instead, because the deer mouse is Canada’s most common carrier of hantavirus.
