Mouse Infestation – Do’s and Don’ts
Fall and winter are the most desperate seasons for mice and rats. Not only is the weather getting colder but food supplies are shrinking as protective plant cover and natural seed-bearing plants begin to disappear from the landscape. All rodents need food and shelter and when the colder months begin to creep closer, these household pests creep inside.
The Matter of Mice Control
Mice are small and they don’t really take up much space do they? A single female mouse can have 40 young per year and when she does that little mouse now takes up a lot more space! Mice are also very destructive. They shred papers and boxes to make nesting materials, they chew electrical cords, drywall edges, clothing, stored food, and they urinate and poop everywhere they go. We tend to store away our most precious possessions and these quiet areas are often an ideal spot for mice to make a nest.
What Not to Do When You Have a Mouse Infestation
Don’t wait, call our team! A few mice will quickly expand into many mice, nibbling, exploring and leaving their droppings wherever they go. All those mice mean more destruction and mice and rats are the two most successful and destructive rodents on the planet.
Mice damage:
- Food supplies
- Clothing
- Walls, ceilings, and floors by gnawing and with urine
- Valuables and keepsakes with urine and by chewing or tearing them up for nesting materials
- Electrical wires by gnawing, which causes an increase in the risk of a house fire
- Your health- they are one of the classic vectors of disease throughout the world
