This is the most effective route to take as it will get rid of all pets in the house in one move. All you have to do is find the one that works best for you and delicately apply it around the house, especially in areas you believe the mice are holed up. Pesticide is effective as it will not only get rid of mice but also any other form of pest that may be lurking in and around the house. However, caution has to be exercised where pets exist, as this could also kill them.

Clean After Yourself

Pest will only proliferate a place that has food lying around. Being in the habit of leaving food crumbs lying around the house is the surest way of attracting rats and mice into your house. Once they find a consistent source of food, they immediately relocate into the house, and your furniture would be the next victim as they tend to create their lairs in soft cushions. Always clean your house well after eating, especially your microfiber leather couches for they prone to contain some food residue. And if you can limit your eating location to one area of the house, the better it will be for you.

Elevate your Furniture

Pests and bugs are crawlers, and finding furniture that’s close to the ground is the best scenario for them. They simply crawl into the inner spaces and create their lairs without being detected. To counter this, consider elevating your furniture a little higher from the ground by using pallets or any other material that will uplift the furniture from the ground. Aide from deterring the pest from finding their way into your furniture, this method will also protect your couches and beds from moisture.

Use Upholstery Covers

As we stated earlier, mice and other pests of their kind love making their homes in chains as they are soft and warm. The reason they chew through furniture is to find a way into these cushions where they can remain undetected. The best way to prevent this would be to add an additional layer of upholstery covers that are heavy and tough enough to stop mice from chewing through. You can also choose to go with plastic covers that are hard to chew through and are made of chemicals that will act as an effective deterrent to the mice and other pests that may be attempting to destroy your furniture.

Natural Deterrents

If you have ever had any second thoughts on owning a cat, then there’s no better time to get one than when you are dealing with furniture mice. Using natural deterrents like cats is very effective as it will scare away the mice from the house and its vicinity. If getting a cat is an added inconvenience that you are not ready to deal with, then consider vinegar, natural oils, and cotton balls. All these materials have a very strong scent that repels small animals like mice that have a very sensitive sense of smell. Caution should be exercised in their usage since too much of them will lead to staining. 

Use Proper Storage Facilities

If you have a storage facility for your furniture, then make sure it is well secured from any entry of any kind of pest. Storage facilities are the leading causes of furniture ice as they are never occupied for many days. Make sure you make regular checks every chance you better to air things out if you have no plans of using the furniture in the foreseeable future. This will give you an idea of how bad the damage is and what should be done to rectify the situation.

Mouse Traps

Another effective method is the use of mouse traps around the house to catch all the mice that are moving about. Mouse traps are brutal to the mice, but when you consider what the furniture is going through, it becomes a worthwhile option to follow. You can set the mouse traps around places where you are sure the mice frequent the most. You can determine this by following food crumbs and droppings. Set up several of them to ensure more success. However, don’t forget where you set them up, or you will have to deal with rotten smells of dead mice around the house.

Treat the Wood

Treating the wood with pest repellent chemicals will stop mice and other possible pests in their tracks. The smell alone will be enough to keep them away. This is something that you could handle on your own, but if time is not on your side, you can always hire a professional to handle the work for you. Consider fumigating the whole house while at it just to be sure that you are covered.
