How NOT to Invite Rodents into Your Home

How NOT to Invite Rodents into Your Home

While no homeowner knowingly invites rodents into their homes, they could be laying out the welcome mat by failing to take the proper precautions. A mouse can breach any interior through a space the size of a dime. Once they get in, female mice can breed up to 35 babies a year.
