Why Avoid Poison for Mice?
Rodenticides are dangerous to children, pets, and wildlife. Poisoned mice often die in walls, causing odors and secondary pest problems. There are safer, equally effective alternatives.
Step 1 — Find Where They're Entering
Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as 6mm. Check around pipes, vents, doors, and foundation cracks. Seal all entry points with steel wool and caulk before placing any traps.
Step 2 — Use Glue Traps Strategically
Sulguy Foldable Sticky Mouse Traps are non-toxic, heavy-duty boards that catch mice without snap mechanisms or poison. Place them flush against walls where mice travel — they rarely move through open spaces.

Step 3 — Apply Diatomaceous Earth Around Entry Points
Sulguy Diatomaceous Earth Powder is a natural mineral powder that damages the exoskeletons of insects and deters rodents when dusted along baseboards and entry points.
Step 4 — Use Peppermint as a Deterrent
Mice dislike strong scents. Spray Sulguy Peppermint Spray along baseboards, inside cabinets, and near entry points to discourage re-entry.
Step 5 — Remove Food and Nesting Sources
- Store all food (including pet food) in airtight containers
- Clear clutter, cardboard boxes, and stored fabrics where mice nest
- Keep bin lids sealed and take rubbish out regularly
How Long Does It Take?
With consistent trapping and sealing, most mouse problems resolve within 1–3 weeks. Check traps daily and reset as needed. Also see How to Catch Mice at Home for additional tips.
