Despite the snow and cold many of Alaska’s rodents don’t take a nap in the winter, instead they enter cabins, greenhouses, garages and homes looking for food and shelter. Your local Cooperative Extension Service has a free publication titled “So You Have Mice-Now What?” This helpful guide provides rodent identification and lifecycle information in addition to exclusion tips and removal ideas.

Your local Cooperative Extension Service is your year round resource for a variety of topics, visit us today at: http://www.uaf.edu/ces/districts/kenai/ to find this publication and more or stop by and see us in the same building as Fish and Game on K-Beach Road between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. We are “Learning for Life.”
