If you have a mouse in your house chances are there are more than one. An infestation can be difficult to control on your own. The technicians at Ottawa’s best pest control have a few tips for you to help avoid costly and worrisome pest problems on your property.
Good habits to have around the house
Take pride in your property, be house proud. Reduce the likelihood of rodents, insects, and other wildlife moving into your territory by keeping it well maintained at all times. Keep the outdoor perimeter of your home clear of debris, trim back trees and shrubs, and store garbage cans away from the house.
Take a walk around the outdoor perimeter of your home on a regular basis and be on the lookout for any places where mice can enter, like holes, cracks, and gaps. Seal them as soon as they’re detected. Replace any rotting wood and remove or move bird feeders as far away from the house as possible.
Inside, be sure to keep your home in good repair. Fix leaking pipes, replace damaged drywall and fill any voids found in woodwork. Clean up spills as soon as they happen, sweep and vacuum up crumbs often. Help eliminate rodent food sources by storing food in tightly sealed containers. Don’t leave pet food out.
What to do if you have mice
A rodent’s most obvious calling card is the leaving behind of feces, tiny dropping that resemble black rice. You’ll spot it along baseboards, on countertops, in cupboards, anywhere mice travel. They can get into pretty much any small space so once you’ve confirmed the presence of mice you can assume they’ve been all through your house.
The traditional mouse trap is a tried and true method of controlling rodents. They work well, If used effectively. Since mice travel along walls, mostly at night, it’s best to place several traps perpendicular to the walls in areas where you suspect they’ve been frequenting. Waiting and tending to the traps can be a bit nerve wracking and can also pose a danger to you, your family, and pets.
