With colder, wetter weather conditions sweeping across the US as we head into December, you may find yourself pondering how to get mice out of the walls in your home. After all, while we spend more time indoors getting cozy, mice, too, seek the same warmth, shelter, and food sources.

Luckily, getting rid of rodents in walls doesn't have to be stressful, nor does it require maintenance – the $22 MaPorch Steel Wool Mouse Hole Filler, available on Amazon, makes it simple. Here's why we recommend it.

While no one wants to spot any tell-tale signs that they have mice, getting rid of mice is easy with the MaPorch Steel Wool Mouse Hole Filler available at Amazon, which is perfect for winter rodent protection both inside and outdoors.

Most importantly, the bendy and flexible steel wool is easy to use and shape. The included scissors are suitable for cutting it to size without any hassle, while the gloves keep your hands protected from cuts and scratches.

It's also so versatile – aside from using it to prevent mice from getting into your house, you can also use it to repel mice from your yard, get rid of mice from a garage, and even get rid of mice in the attic.

It's loved by shoppers, too. One, leaving a five-star review, writes that it's, 'everything you need in one box' for keeping mice out of your walls without buying multiple products or spending days on the problem.

'Very pleased with this,' they say, noting the simplicity of the application. 'The material was easy to work with, and it was nice to have the gloves and scissors included in the box.

'Not only did I seal up the pipes by the baseboard heaters, but I also stuffed the wool into gaps between the carpet and walls, under some baseboards, in gaps inside cabinets, and around water and plumbing pipes,' all of which are common spots for hidden pest harborage[...] I feel much better about keeping mice out of the house.'

A second shopper, David, dubs it 'great stuff,' adding, 'My house was built in 1960, so there are lots of little holes that I haven't had a chance to patch yet...in every hole I place steel wool in, I get no more mice.

'This stuff was well-priced, easy to use, and if they ever come back, I know exactly what I'm buying. I've also told my neighbors about it. And no, I'm not employed by the company or Amazon, I'm just ecstatic that after four years, I finally found a product that works great and doesn't break the bank.'

A third chimes, 'No mice since installation, yippee!' so take it from them – using steel wool to stop mice getting indoors really does work.
