How To Tell If There’s A Mice Infestation On Your Property
The easily sign of a mice infestation is seeing the pests scurrying in your home. Mice are nocturnal and are most commonly seen either at night. They also leave their nests at dusk and return back at dawn.
Seeing juvenile mice is a good indication that there are mice breeding on your property. Additionally, seeing mice about during the day could mean that there is crowding and competing for food.
Another visible symptom of a mice infestation is their droppings, which are most commonly found in areas where they frequent the most. In most cases, these are most abundant in the kitchen, the attic, and the basement.
Preventing Mice From Being Attracted To Your Home
Mice infest homes because they are attracted to food and shelter. Homes are abundant in food, whether it’s stored food in the cupboards or garbage that hasn’t been properly stored in a sealed container. Mice infestations tend to become worse during the winter when mice seek protection from the cold weather.
Prevent mice in your home, or prevent the problem from worsening if you already have them, by properly storing your food and garbage in sealed plastic bins. Additionally, regularly clean your home in order to get rid of any outlying food and to inspect your home for signs of a mice infestation.
The Health Hazards Of A Mice Infestation
A mice infestation could be a health hazard for the inhabitants of a home. The dander from mice and the dust from their droppings could cause or worsen allergies. Mice can contaminate food, causing food poisoning for people and pets.
Additionally, mice are carriers and transmitters of a number of harmful diseases. Take precautions by taking care to not handle mice, properly ventilating rooms with rodent waste before cleaning, and using disposable gloves when cleaning.
