I trapped mice for 2.5 yrs in a house I bought and inherited the problem with. I checked for entry points using bright lights shining on the interior walls and searched at night to locate a couple of small openings. No change. I removed the old wooden deck to replace it with paver stones and found the final entry point they were using. Being mouse free is awesome.

I actually do this for a living, and here are a few thoughts....

Good job first keep in mind that sometimes mice/rats will be within the structure when you seal up the hole. If you only use the foam, they can/will chew through it (especially if they get trapped inside). Rats teeth never stop growing and they are experts at chewing through things like foam, aluminum, forth. I suggest using steel or copper whenever sealing up a mouse/rat hole. For your situation....you could fold a piece of 1/8 or 1/4 inch meshing and stuff it up there, spray with rubber coating like flex it's a done deal without messy foam.
you may trap them within the structure, it is a good idea to set traps in the attic and sub area to make sure you get any trapped inside. If you want to be sure they are gone after sealing, put some nuts or dried fruit in there overnight and see if it goes missing.

for the and mice are very tricky and intelligent (trust me lol)

One tricky thing for mice entry, you could have tree/object overhang and they are scurrying from that onto a deck or non-ground approach. Something to consider for folks who come up empty on their initial camera hunt

One thing I would recommend is shoving steel wool up in the hole before you squirt the foam. This will prevent the mice from chewing the foam and recreating an entrance.

An alternative is Rodo Trak. UV powder in bait boxes. Mouse takes bait, and gets UV power on itself. Powder Trail is visible with UV Flashlight. You can find the entry points by UV Powder Trail! So cool.

I've had great mouse proofing results by using strips of 1/4" galvanized wire cloth screen to plug long, wide gaps along the foundation where the siding overlaps. Cut some strips and fold lengthwise to make them tent shaped. Use a wide scraper or putty knife to push the folded strips deep into the gap. The wire cloth will lock into position. Follow up with foam injection to keeps bugs and drafts out.

This YouTuber covers so many topics it's hard to believe. I'm an engineer and a super skeptic about almost everything (don't believe anything I hear and only half of what I see LOL), and this YouTuber really nails things from tech to lawns to whatever. What a really great channel.

[shaffer]

Lol great video! I actually did the same thing with an outdoor camera. Started sealing the entire house and haven’t had a rodent problem for 7 years so far. You are doing the right thing!

[petemarshall]

We had same problem on a house built in 1994 when I moved in 2000. Did not use camera, lucky to have a dog that was a mouse hunter and she was chewing on outside corners of siding. This is a Vinyl sided house and all the outside corners are like a mouse turnpike to my attic where they were soring acorns like preppers. Foamed all outside and inside corners of siding and no more mice. Thanks to Mika the dog. RIP Mika.

You have an uncanny ability to post helpful videos within weeks of my running into these types of problems. This is without a doubt the best channel on YouTube for people who want to do DIY projects. Thanks as always. Will report back on how this works on our mouse issue!

[edover]

I really enjoy your videos and how professionally you approach each activity. Watching the transformation of your new place has me applauding. Keep it up.

[rickfromthecape]

Corner boards are notorious for letting mice in. Other areas to watch out for are around the sides of your garage doors, and those metal bulkhead doors which do nothing to keep mice out. I always recommend to my customers that they have a finish door that seals of the opening at the bottom of the bulkhead steps. Great video!

[mikegregory]

I don’t know what your motivation is to keep helping us but it’s wonderful. You have helped me solve so many problems around the house. I don’t know how to ever thank you. Please keep posting, we need your help. And the products you support saves me hours of research too.

[skitzer]

You are my absolute favorite youtube channel as a new homeowner. Keep up the great work!

[mikederucki]

Love your new place. In the woods, no one bothering you, looks awesome!

[richardharwell]

Great info ! I have used a product called "stuff it" It is a copper mesh that you stuff into the holes, rodents do not like to chew on copper then then spray the foam to keep it in place and seal it.
I found this product on "Do My Own".

[tomf]

Great advice as usual. These pests have been getting into my place for years. Hopefully this will finally stop them

[tonylorefice]

I had the exact same problem where my natural gas pipe was not caulked and let mice in my basement. I bought the exact same spray foam and insulated the hole. I then had to set up traps in our basement to kill any remaining mice. Great video!! 👍

[mmcats]

I was catching mice both inside my garage and inside my house. I looked all around the house perimeter but couldn't find how they were getting inside. I finally found their access hole by accident. It had snowed during the night and I went outside early the next morning to get something from my car in the driveway. The snow was pristine except for mouse tracks leading directly to the corner of my garage door. I waited until the snow melted, got down on my hands and knees and found the hole the mice were coming through. I blocked the hole and my mice problem disappeared.

When you seal a hole, add copper mesh to the sealant.
I use the mesh from copper pot scrubbers. Simply snip the pieces holding them together and it becomes a roll of mesh, and they're very cheap to purchase.
I also go one step further, and then add a heavy gauge wire netting along the inside. You can double this up using a 2d piece so the bars cover the spaces of each square, because many people are still amazed at the space a small mouse can squeeze through.
The more work/time it takes, the less effort they will exert, and quickly move in to somewhere else... Unless they have babies inside.
