(New York) As a certified home inspector with over 15 years of experience, I've witnessed the devastating damage mice can cause to homes. I've seen families forced to throw away thousands of dollars in contaminated food and documented property damage from rodent problems that cost homeowners tens of thousands to repair.
The methods you choose to deal with mice don't just determine whether you eliminate them - they impact your family's health and your home's safety. After inspecting over 1,000 homes with rodent problems, I've tested the most popular solutions available to find what actually works.
The
#1 brand took me by surprise, but I can see why stores have already started stocking up on inventory for 2025.
There are quite a few popular DIY solutions that people use to get rid of mice. However, these home remedies don’t work consistently, and while you're waiting for results, the mouse population continues to grow. Most homeowners find they've wasted weeks trying these methods while the mice get worse.
4. Mouse Traps
Mouse traps work, but they only kill one mouse at a time and require constant monitoring. The biggest issue is dealing with the dead mouse - most people find the cleanup process and smell are disgusting. If you have a larger mouse problem, you'll need dozens of traps throughout your home.
3. Poison
Poisons kill mice, but can pose serious safety risks to children and pets. The poison can take days to work, and when mice die inside your walls, you're left with a terrible smell for weeks. Plus many homeowners are uncomfortable having poison scattered near their kids and pets.
2. Cheap Exterminators
You can always call a cheap guy for a couple bucks with lackluster results. But professional exterminators are highly effective but insanely expensive. Initial treatments cost $300-500+ with ongoing monthly contracts. The scheduling process takes weeks, and many homeowners prefer not having strangers regularly entering their homes for treatments.

I 💕 Them Pouches
2 years ago we had a plaque of mice in the house. I used poison, traps but they reproduce very quickly. I bought these and haven’t had a mouse since.
I use it my barn last year. No rodents!
