How do you ensure you

In order to avoid unwelcome guests should, in addition to setting up mousetraps, close all openings greater than six millimeters to avoid house mouse.

All walls must be free of holes and cracks.

Pipes secured with concrete, specially designed dense pasta or galvanized sheets. It is best if the basement floor is cast.

Test Winner: Muse Trap Rap 2 was the winner in a test sheet Villmarksliv had of mousetraps. They captured nearly 100 mice in the various test models in a matter of months. The winner is according the test easy to set up. You do not have to take on the dead mouse, and the materials are plastic and metal.
