Mice may be small, but their impact on your home can be huge. These pests aren’t just a nuisance; they can damage your property, chew through electrical wiring, and pose serious health risks. If you’ve seen one mouse, there are likely more hidden nearby. At Cypress Creek Pest Control, we specialize in protecting Houston homes from unwanted intruders like mice. Here’s how you can keep mice where they belong—outside.
Mice seek shelter, food, and warmth—especially during colder months. Unfortunately, our homes offer all three. From crumbs on the kitchen floor to gaps in your walls, small rodents take advantage of the tiniest opportunities to make themselves at home.
Once inside, their presence becomes more than just an inconvenience. For example:
Understanding their motivations is step one in keeping your home rodent-free.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to act.
While professional pest control is the most effective solution, you can take some proactive steps to make your home less inviting to mice.
Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime. Inspect your home’s exterior. Pay close attention to areas around windows, doors, vents, and pipes. Use materials like steel wool, caulk, or wire mesh to block their access points.
Mice are drawn to food crumbs and spills. Make a habit of:
The cleaner your home, the less appealing it is to rodents.
Mice often enter homes via yards and garages. Eliminate hiding spots by:
Outdoor trash cans can be a buffet for rodents if not properly secured. Use bins with tight-fitting lids and avoid letting garbage pile up.
From pet food to leaky pipes, anything mice can eat or drink will encourage them to stay. Make sure to:
Traps are a classic method to control mice, but they’re most effective when paired with preventative measures. Ultrasonic repellents and natural deterrents like peppermint oil can also help in creating an uninviting environment for mice.
While these tips can help with prevention, a mice infestation is best handled by professionals. Our technicians at Cypress Creek Pest Control offer tailored solutions to ensure your home stays mouse-free.
Whether it’s sealing entry points, setting traps, or providing long-term rodent monitoring, our team is dedicated to giving you peace of mind.
