Did you know that mice aren't just winter pests? Many Albany homeowners associate mice with colder months, but these furry intruders can invade your home any time of the year. Why do they prefer your home, and how can you keep them out? Read on to learn why mice are a year-round problem and how to protect your home effectively.

Why Mice Prefer Your Albany Home

Mice aren’t just looking for warmth; your home offers everything they need to survive.

Safe Shelter

• In the wild, mice face predators like hawks and foxes.
• Your home provides a predator-free environment, especially within wall voids and attic spaces.

Plentiful Food

• Mice aren’t picky eaters. They’ll feast on:
  • Trash and leftovers.
  • Crumbs under appliances.
  • Food spills or packaging in cabinets.

Your home is essentially an all-you-can-eat buffet for mice.

The Risks of a Mouse Infestation

Mice aren’t just a nuisance; they pose serious health and safety risks:

1. Spread Diseases: Mice carry bacteria and viruses that can make your family sick.
2. Fire Hazards: Chewing on wires can lead to electrical fires.
3. Parasites: Mice can introduce fleas, ticks, lice, and mites into your home.

How to Keep Mice Out of Your Albany Home

Year-round pest control is essential for protecting your home from mice.

Preventive Measures

• Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for gaps or cracks in the foundation, walls, and around utility pipes.
• Maintain Cleanliness: Keep food in sealed containers, regularly clean under appliances, and empty trash bins often.
• Trim Vegetation: Mice use overgrown shrubs and tree branches as pathways to your home.
