The $10 Fix That Stops Mice (The Right Way
💡 The $10 Fix That Stops Mice
You’ve probably heard people say:
“Just stuff steel wool in the hole.”
Steel wool does help stop rodents because they hate chewing through it.
But here’s the problem…
Steel wool rusts, falls apart, and pulls out over time if you leave it exposed.
That’s why when I seal rodent entry holes, I do it a little differently.
First I pack the hole with steel wool to block the entry point.
Then I seal it over with a weatherproof exterior caulking like Big Stretch.
The caulking protects the steel wool from weather, holds it in place, and makes the repair much more durable.
Sometimes I’ll also add hardware cloth if the area gets heavy chewing.
Rodent control isn’t just about stuffing holes — it’s about making the repair last.
Quick question:
Where have you found holes around your house that mice might be using?
