Got a problem with mice in your home?

Presence of rodents in the residential environment is a health hazard to yourself, your loved ones, your visitors and your household pets.

Rats and mice, like other creatures which live in rubbish tips, drains, sewers and other unhygienic places, pick up disease-causing germs from their surroundings. They then spread dangerous diseases by entering buildings and transferring germs to food, walls and floors, counters, tables, storage areas, amenities, utensils and other places where people can come in touch with them.

They’re also pretty fast rodents in terms of reproduction and moving from one place to another. When they invade houses or buildings, they find secured areas to nest and breed. Because they are harbingers of ailments, the microorganisms they have can easily spread in our area, most notably when they walk over our food and water, thereby contaminating it.

Along with that, they’re also capable of ruining furnishings, upholstery, tapestries and even books. additionally, because they continue chewing on food and items, electric wires at houses and buildings are also at risk, which makes it susceptible to unexpected fire. Do mention, as soon as they nibble on the electric wires, the house is susceptible to fire.

Rats and mice differ in size, mice being a lot bigger than rats. In Australia, there are various rodent species that are introduced and considered as pest to families and environmental communities.

If an infestation is left unknown and unmanaged, mice can cause extensive damage to homes, businesses and surrounding areas. They enter houses and buildings not only to find food but as well as building shelter and nestle. They enter through small cracks and holes and their nests are often located in common areas such as attics and basements.

Its habits usually consist of floor dwelling and burrowing, but frequently climbs. It will consume around three (3) grams of meals every day and can live with no additional water.

• Noise – obviously, you may hear scratching and squeaking in your walls or in your rooftop especially through the evening which mice are generally dynamic.

Deterring Mice Problems

A site inspection is an initial phase in distinguishing mice infestation. Doing this can help to identify the species and come up with the perfect treatment plan. Though DIY methods can help, this does not guarantee 100 per cent eradication. In fact, it can only give short-term solutions. That is why it is still best to employ long-term solutions offered by professionals.

Hence, it is wise to consider long-term measures to get the desired effects in dealing with mice problems.

Setting Traps and Baits

Traps are a powerful defence. This is an effective method as well to catch live rodents that are pestering all over the area. Actually, we just don’t establish traps and baits like what we see in cartoons. There are right ways about how to do this.

For traps, there are two kinds: the tacky ones and the spring-loaded. Sticky traps can provide success by entrapping the mouse alive. But, it also has its downside. CDC said that live trapped mice can urinate and its infected urine can spread diseases.

For the spring-loaded trap, you need to put a bait to lure them, a piece of cheese for example. After preparing the trap, it is vital to put the trap perpendicular to a wall (like a T). Lie these traps where you believe there is a good deal of mouse activity.
