Simple Tips & Tricks For Keeping Mice From Nesting In Your Grill
By AMANDA FINN
Mice often seek shelter in outdoor grills, attracted by the protective structure that provides refuge from adverse weather and predators as well as by the lingering smell of food.
To keep these rodents from nesting in your grill, regular cleaning is vital. Thoroughly removing food residue after each use can significantly diminish the grill's appeal to mice.
It's also crucial to store the grill in a dry place, preferably with a cover, and to seal all vents during the off-season to limit potential entry points for these pesky intruders.
Moreover, mice have a strong aversion to the scent of peppermint oil. Spraying areas around the grill with this essential oil can deter them without the need for harsh chemicals.
