Almost all garages have clutters. It is their function to house all the mice that live in your garage.
• Access to bird seeds
All the edibles including dog foods are usually stored in the garage by most homeowners, no lie. This gives the mice a chance to get their way to those food containers.
• Nesting materials
Most garages contain so many materials, like papers, cotton, debris, cupboard, etc. those are typical mice goldmines.

The most common method of getting rid of mice is by use of traps and baits, more especially in the garages. Before using a trap or bait, it is important that you bear a lot in mind.
- All poisonous traps are very threatening to kids and pets in the house.
- Spring traps with tasty treats are also very dangerous to our kids and pets.
- Rodents carry so many diseases and parasites, it is, therefore, necessary to dispose of the body wearing protective clothing like gloves.
- Glue traps are meant to stick and starve the mice until they are dead but do not kill them instantly.

- After identifying the two spots, place baits in those particular locations or a place near that location. You can as well have them along the walls, in-house corners, and under all the furniture.
