Finding a mouse nest in your garage is not a pleasant experience, both because of the smell and the disease factor. The smallest spaces can become a hiding place for a whole family of field mice. In more rural areas, you may find pack rats in a garage which is even less pleasant than the smaller variety of rodent.
Less commonly, you may find other pests in your garage, depending on your location. More exotic creatures that have taken up residence in your garage may require relocation by animal control experts. Some of the unusual creatures that have been found in garages include raccoons, foxes, snakes, alligators, and various other unpleasant visitors.
The type of pest control you will employ depends on your location and the type of use your garage has had and will have. Here are some general tips to clean up the garage area attached to or near your home.
