For homeowners across Central and Coastal Maine, this post-holiday downtime also creates opportunities for mice and other pests to infest. Cold weather pushes them indoors, and holiday leftovers can make your home more inviting than you realize. The good news? A simple reset can help you get your house back in order and keep pests out for the rest of winter.

Advanced Pest Solutions, a locally owned and operated Maine pest control company with over 30 years of hands-on experience, explains why boxes of Christmas decorations attract mice in and how to keep them out for good.

At Advanced Pest Solutions, a locally owned Maine pest control company, we help homeowners recognize the early signs of mice and take action before a minor issue turns into a full-blown infestation.
