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

Mice are fairly fast rodents not only in terms of reproduction but as well in roaming around to nearby environments. Once they enter your household, they can crawl over your walls and flooring, counters, tables, storage areas, kitchens and other areas where they could hide and nestle.

Along with being a disease-carrier, rats and mice can also bring huge damage to furniture, doorways, skirtings, upholstery, books, packaging and meals, and are considered to cause house fires after chewing through electric cables.

Rats and mice differ in size, mice being much smaller than rats. Ground and roof rats are similar in size. In Australia, there are a number of introduced (feral) rodents which are pests around homes and outbuildings.

They can also multiply quickly and could do extensive damage to your private residence, furnishings and business with their gnawing habits. They can contaminate meals and things with their droppings. Their droppings can also trigger asthma when inhaled.

If you suspect an infestation, it’s better to seek assistance and consultation from the nearest pest management supplier.

Detecting Mice Problems

To confirm if you are experiencing mice problems at home or in business, here are indicative signs that there’s an infestation:

• Droppings – since they’re cousins with rats, mice leave traces of their waste droppings which resembles chocolate sprinkles and smaller than rat droppings, which can be concentrated in one area. If you find one, DO NOT touch as you’ll be vulnerable to acquire diseases.
• Chewed up bundles or stuff – this is obvious as you may get some chewed up pieces of stuff like papers or even the surfaces of your furniture.
• Noises – obviously, you may hear scratching and squeaking in your walls or in your roof especially at night that mice are active.

Other signs that there is a mice infestation:

• Pee and musty, stale odor
• Smear marks
• Ripped food packages

Deterring Mice Problems

A careful and regular inspection is the first step in detecting mice infestation. Doing so thoroughly can help deter any mice problems. Though DIY methods can help, they can only supply short-term solutions. Hence, it is good to consider long-term solutions to completely prevent such problems.

In fact, there are viable choices on how we are able to avoid mice infestation, however, the simplest method is to seal passage and keeping the environment clean.

Setting Traps and Baits

Traps are a powerful defence. This is applicable to mice which are abiding easily inside the property. Obviously, we simply don’t set snares and lures like what we find in kid’s shows. Truth be told, there’s a legitimate approach to do this.

For traps, there are 2 kinds: the sticky ones and the spring-loaded. Sticky traps can offer success by entrapping the mouse alive. However, it also has its downside. CDC said that live trapped mice can urinate and its infected urine can spread illnesses.

For the spring-loaded trap, you need to put a bait to lure them, a slice of cheese for example. After preparing the trap, it’s vital to put the trap perpendicular to a wall (like a T). Lie these traps where you believe there’s a lot of mouse activity.
