Hello,
when i bought my house, there was water in the basement. I contracted Basement Doctors and they dug out a narrow trench all around the edges that leads to a sump pump. the good thing is no water intrusion (i also put in a french drain in the front of the house). since then i've had a three times when mice got in. i don't think they stay long as i have a cat who is a mouser par excellence. but it's concerning because mice can give worms to cats and worse than that, they carry hantavirus (terrifying).
i don't know where they could get in; i have checked every inch and dealt with any breaches and yet my mouser kitty just presented me with 2 baby mice. i'm wondering if they can get in through the basement doctors trench.
anyone know for sure?
thank you!
