This was really helpful. I live in NYC, so, enough said. Been here almost five years and still haven’t gotten use to the pests, but at least I know exactly what to use to seal them out. Thank you!

This was very, very helpful! It was also great to see the type of Steel Wool you use, I was going to purchase the expensive kind. I need to fill the gaps between the washer / the wall and the dryer and wall in my apartment. I found all the holes but they were using the dryer vents to hide and escape. Thank you very much!

Thanks so much for the tips! Wish I had run across your video sooner. We live in an RV full time for a year now, first year never had a mouse. This year because it has gotten super cold and windy where we are at, they come inside to escape the cold. I do keep food covered up and clean and sweep the RV like crazy every night, but they get in to avoid the cold and wind. We captured one female mouse and had only seen one, and I unfortunately made the mistake you were talking about not to do. There were more than just her, we just didn't see or catch them in time and they avoided the traps once she was caught. I was so impatient and didnt wait to kill or search for others in the RV, went ahead and sealed out more from coming inside with steel wool and spray foam, and you are right have to contend with killing previous mice inside while it's sealed off from leaving outside. Great tips on how to use steel wool effectively! Now I know how to ruff it up for next time when sealing off my next new home.

I've had issues with mice off and on for year's but I can't afford $600 for a pest control guy to come in and basically put traps down like I am doing. The problem is that now they are getting on my counters which has never been an issue. What can I do? I've tried steel wool, and expanding foam, different traps etc.

Steel wool is the best, use sealant also over the steel wool. Expanding foam not great as they can chew through it.

Hi, great video, however, when you use steel wool outside, it rusts. I tried using stainless steel scrubbing pads so I hope they work. What do you think about that product? Thank you and have a Blessed week! David
@GreenAkersPC
@GreenAkersPC 3 жыл бұрын
The rusting issue is something I do struggle with but you can place the steel wool deeper into the wall then caulk over the steel wool and that will help. SOS Pads don’t work to keep out mice

I live in a manufactured home, and I know most of my mice are getting in by way of the skirting. I need to plug the holes especially in back where my air conditioner pipe goes in. There's a gap around that and I wonder if there is a low cost way to seal that so they can't get in? This video is very helpful!

Hello Jason. We are have a problem on our apartment building - bed bugs. Watched a ton of your videos , thank you for such valuable information that you share with us! Will buy crossfire and use it’s labeled , but wanted to know if you recommend getting a commercial grade steamer which gets up to 212 degrees f that can be used on the floor, furniture, mattresses, clothing etc. and mattress/box spring covers that don’t let beg bugs in or out. We can’t move our right now so will have to deal with this issue for a couple of months. Do you recommend anything I mentioned to help eliminate beg bugs? Thank you !

Hi Me and my family just moved in our new mobile home couple months back. Have not have any issues inside of the home yet but the other day I was just sitting on the porch and notice a mice by the steps and it was alive and the next day I saw a dead one in the yard and alive one just on the side of my home. I was wondering if there are more and coming from under the house? I never had experienced it before in my other moble home we are in a country area now so this is new to me.
