Mice Removal Services

House mice can cause damage to your home, bring diseases into your house and make your home dirty. Therefore, you’ll want to stop mice from entering your home so you can avoid a house mouse infestation. However, preventing them is only part of the process, so we want to talk about some of the signs of a house mice infestation.

Common Factors That Attract Mice to Your Home

Mice try to avoid human contact, so they’re usually active in quieter, undisturbed domestic spaces. Try to clean these areas as frequently as possible. A mouse can squeeze its body through small gaps and spaces. In the absence of sturdy vent covers, for example, mice can gain easy entry to a home. Look for access points and seal them up.

Trash cans that aren’t emptied often or lack locking lids can attract four-legged creatures, as can pet food that has a strong smell and a high nutritional value. It’s important to store pet food in airtight containers and in mouse-proof bowls. Make sure to clean up after feeding by washing the bowl or disposing of crumbs. Mice can contaminate pet food and food preparation surfaces with their droppings and urine, which can compromise your pets’ health and make you sick. They can spread diseases such as E. coli, Lyme disease and hantavirus.

Sometimes, you could be checking all the boxes and keeping a clean home, but your neighbors aren’t. Maintenance pest control treatments ensure you’ve done all you can to keep your home comfortable and livable.

Signs of a Mouse Infestation

Signs that mice may be getting in your house include:

• The presence of mouse feces, which look like small dark pellets or a grain of rice
• Gnawed materials, such as wires, boxes, furniture, or wood. Insulation and ductwork
