Block the bottom of your doors.

Here’s a fantastic pest removal method for keeping mice out of your home: Place some brush strips at the bottom of your doors to prevent pests from getting through, especially in older homes where the doors don’t fit as well.

You should also cover vents with fine galvanized wire mesh.

Monitor your humidifier

This pest removal method is more of a preventative measure. But many critters are attracted to moisture, including millipedes, centipedes, sow bugs, silverfish, and earwigs.

They’re drawn to damp areas in your home for use as a watering hole and a breeding ground. We recommend keeping track of your humidifier levels to prevent this unwelcome situation from becoming a reality.

Run a humidifier to keep your house’s ideal relative humidity levels between 30% and 50%. If you don’t already have one, let us know in the comments, and we’d be happy to recommend one for you!
