How do they move through the house? Next, you look at warding: are there holes near the baseboards? Is the crawl space open? These are professionally sealed. This is followed by non-chemical solutions such as animal-friendly mouse traps or odor barriers.     <\/p>\n<p>The environment also plays a role. Are food sources present? Are there crumbs under the kitchen cabinets? By addressing these structurally, the home becomes unattractive to pests.
