Before pulling out all the stops, you still need to make sure it’s really a mouse. Here are the most common clues:

Small black droppings : similar to grains of rice, often near food sources.
Night noises : scratching, squeaking, rapid movement in walls or ceilings.
Nests : Made with paper, fabric, or other soft materials.
Teeth marks : on electrical wires, furniture or packaging.

How to get rid of mice naturally?
Plug the entrances
As with a castle, start by securing the access points. Use putty, steel wool, or metal gratings to seal all holes, even the smallest ones.

Remove food sources
Clean work surfaces thoroughly, seal your food tightly, empty the trash regularly, and never leave kibble or crumbs accessible.

Use natural repellents
