One couple's first fall in a rural-ish home brought a $21K quote and a discount if they decided that day. They're getting a second opinion and starting with sealing and trapping. Here's why mice move in, and what to do about each one.
Pick my pack3 plant oils + mineral base • No poison • No traps to empty
That couple saw a few mice in their first few months, trapped them, and the sightings died down. Then, as winter came, they started hearing more of them in the walls. Homeowners on the forums say the same thing: temps drop, and then they hear scratching in the walls.
The fix: Do your walk-around now, before it gets colder. Seal the gaps you can reach, and set a pouch by the spots you can't. It's a repellent: mice don't like to settle near the smell.
A rural home comes with fields, woods and a lot of critters around. That couple wasn't surprised to see a few mice, and you don't need to blame yourself either. Mice happen. You can't move the field.
The fix: Start with the rooms that face the outdoors: the garage, the basement, the pantry on an outside wall, and the shed. The bigger packs are sized for a full home plus an outbuilding.
They bought right before the market cooled and waived the inspection. They say they shouldn't have, but live and learn. Inspection or not, the gaps are still there.
The fix: Do your own inspection. Walk the outside of the house with steel wool and spray foam, and fill every gap around pipes, vents, the water spigot and the gas line. The CDC says a mouse can fit through a gap about the width of a pencil.
By the time that couple called someone, there were nests in the attic insulation. That's what the $21K quote was for: taking out all the attic insulation, cleaning the wood and putting in new insulation. Mice don't stay where you can see them. They settle in walls, attics and the back corners you never get to.
The fix: If the attic is already full of nests, have a pro look, and get more than one quote, like they're doing. If you're trying to keep mice from settling in, set a pouch by the spots you can't reach: behind the stove, under the sink, the corners of the garage.
They trapped the first few, and it worked for a while. Then winter brought more. A trap catches the mouse that's already inside. It doesn't close the gap the next one uses.
The fix: Keep your traps if they work for you. Close the way in too, and set pouches in the spots you can't close. There's no poison in a pouch, so nothing ends up dying in a wall you can't get to.

Three plant oils in a mineral base, for the spots you can't seal.
No poison: it's a repellent, so nothing ends up dying in a wall you can't get to. No traps: nothing to set, check or empty. No corn cob: the fill is mineral, not food. Made to go with sealing: seal what you can reach, cover what you can't.
Peppermint, cinnamon and castor oil, held in mineral granules. That's the whole pouch. No bait, no glue, no spring.
Seal every gap you can reach first. Then set a pouch by each spot you can't, like behind the stove, under the sink, the back of the pantry, or the corners of the garage. Keep them out of reach of kids and pets, the same as anything with essential oils.

Mice keep getting into house after paying pro to seal it. What are my next steps?

I have sealed what I can, but I know there are likely some places under the skirt, that I simply cannot access.

I like to prevent access and have covered every opening I can find. Problem is I can't find them as well as the rodents!

Last yr after it was removed from storage and before the first trip, mice built a nest inside the generator windings.The generator had to be removed and repaired.This yr they built a nest inside the exhaust system. No damage, but what a stink when I fired up the engine.

Corn cob pouches: based on their own ingredient lists.
These have a mineral base, not corn cob, so there's no food in the fill. They also aren't meant to work alone: seal every gap you can reach, then put a pouch in each spot you can't.
We can't promise a mouse will never bite one. Here's what's in it: three plant oils in a mineral base. There's no corn cob and no food in the fill.
Yes. Seal every gap you can reach. These go in the spots you can't, like the back of the pantry, under the sink, or in the garage.
Plenty of people swear by them, and they may be working for you. You don't have to stop. These pouches go in the spots a sheet can't sit.
You'll notice it when you open a cabinet. That's the point. If the smell bothers you, put the pouches in the spots you don't sit near, like the garage, the basement and the back of the pantry.
Use them as directed. Keep them out of reach of kids and pets, the same as anything with essential oils.
No. It's a repellent. It doesn't kill mice, so there's nothing dying in a wall you can't get to.
