The garage is one of the easiest ways into a home for rodents: a gap under the door, clutter to hide in, and often stored food to find.
Garage doors rarely seal tightly at the corners, and that gap is a standing invitation. A good door sweep and corner seals close the most common entry. From there, rodents move into wall voids and the rest of the house.
Inside the garage, clutter gives cover and stored pet food, birdseed, and pantry overflow give a reason to stay. Store those in sealed metal or hard plastic containers, keep the floor clear, and set monitoring. A clean, sealed garage removes both the way in and the reason to.
