How to Keep Your Kitchen Mouse-Free

  • Social media is filled with videos of rodents running amuck in kitchens, even the spotless ones. Inside Edition teamed up with pest control experts in New York and New Jersey to find out if critters may be lurking in people’s kitchens. With the permission of the homeowners, we installed surveillance cameras. It didn’t take long for the mice to come out. Giancarlo D’Andraia from TMG Pest Control (bit.ly/3ykrt9y) says stoves can be a magnet for mice because of the food scraps that get left behind after cooking.

    I absolutely love having cats!!! An amazing side effect that I didn't consider when living alone is that they will catch any pest creeping in your space no matter how small. I don't have mice, but I do get the occasional bug. They always spot them before I do and help me find them so I can remove them from my space. They really do help me sleep at night in more ways than one.

    This happened to my home a few years ago. The area I live in had a mouse problem and they found their way into mine and my neighbors houses. The city ended up advising everyone to use traps and poison, plus they put poison out themselves. It was rough but eventually it cleared up. I've only seen 1 mouse since and it was taken care of pretty easily.

    my cat in the middle of the night hunted a mouse, my mom was with her, my cat put her head into the hole and grabbed the mouse out. my mom thought it was her mouse toy which looked just like a mouse but was weirded out by how my cat reacted, so she followed her told her to drop it, at first the mouse played dead, then it moved, and when I tell you I never heard my mom scream like that in my life, middle of the night woke my brother, father and I up. I came out, my cat was trying to get it again, the mouse ended up running right back to where it came. Will never forget that, while we were waiting for the exterminator to get them all from the attic my cat would stare at the walls where you could hear them running around, had a whole family in the attic

    When my parents and I lived out in the country, we had mice like crazy. That is, until I discovered a feral kitten while I was exploring by my dad’s shop. He had an old shop that he used for welding stuff and so on. Once I discovered the kitten, many, many other cats started coming around our place.
    Then that kept the mice down. We stopped seeing any in the kitchen and pantry.
    And once when I was in middle school, during home economics class, a mouse somehow got into the home economics classroom. The teacher literally got up on a chair, and sat on the table. I can’t even remember who took the mouse outside. Just my teachers reaction to the mouse.
    One would think she would have hit the ceiling. 😂.
    Also, I have a cat. So thankful for my little fur baby.

    Even have 2 cats
    Recently had left a finished frozen TV dinner spaghetti tray in its box on the counter… kinda forgot to toss it for a couple days; bad I know…
    That night I was chatting with my housemate and heard the sound of cellophane crinkling and then heard it again… realized that a frick’n mouse was stuck in the box after squeezing it’s way inside…
    Guess who finally took the trash out right after that… it also explains why one of the cats had knocked some stuff off the counter I guess… just couldn’t get to the mouse in time, but it all worked out… well, not for the mouse
