IN THIS VIDEO Common gaps around foundations, doors, and plumbing Why small openings deserve a closer look Steel wool, caulk, and mesh for suitable repairs Why a second inspection matters The limits of peppermint oil and DIY trapping claims IMPORTANT CORRECTIONS AND LIMITS Exclusion prevents entry; it does not remove mice already inside or guarantee a mouse-free home. Total supplies cost more than the script's $3 claim when bought together. Mice do not have collapsible, cartilage-like skulls. Peppermint oil is not a dependable infestation treatment, and concentrated oils can harm pets. Do not use drowning buckets. CDC recommends appropriate snap traps for indoor rodents and advises against live and glue traps. Secure small-hole filling material in place; do not pack metal into electrical equipment or obstruct vents, flues, or required openings. Seek qualified help for utility penetrations or persistent infestations. USEFUL REFERENCES CDC: Seal gaps to prevent rodents https://www.cdc.gov/healthy-pets/rodent-co...
