Mice infestation is an act of encroachment of private space and this is repeated every season by these rodents whether you like it or not. Your home offers attractive nesting place for rats and mice besides providing food and water. Mice won’t find a better place to settle because your home architecture has many concealed areas where mice can pitch their tent. Rodents like dark moisture laden surfaces and that is the reason why they choose your basement, foundation, barn, garden and drainage pipes. It is important to remove the infestation in the bud because mice breed quickly and in plenty to soon form a colony where hundreds of them will be residing. This will become unmanageable and mice presence in your home is real bad news as the creatures happen to be deadly disease carriers. It is advised to remove mice from your home by using professional services like BBPP the top mice control Richmond Hill as it will be methodical, eventless and clean. Here are 3 ways you can control or remove mice infestation:
- Deny entry
Your house mouse is small fur covered rodent which has the ability to get through tiniest holes because of their trunk being highly flexible. They are made in such a way that they are able to collapse their body so they can easily squeeze through smallest holes. Hunt for these entry points around your wall, foundation, basement, roof etc and seal them. This is the first line of action if you do not want mice infestation and you can do this without professional help. Use impenetrable materials like steel wire mesh, steel wool balls, caulk or concrete to seal the access points. Mice cannot get through the first line of defense.
The house mouse is resourceful and highly athletic hence is able to sprint, jump, climb and swim at extraordinary speeds. You cannot possibly catch them as you are no match for their speed and ability. Mice will climb pipes, trees to get entry in to your home so cut down branches close to your roof and seal pipe entry points with the above mentioned sealants. Repair broken tiles on the roof, seal gaps in the eves, doors and place wire mesh screen over windows. Install door sweep to seal gaps under doors. If you are able to successfully execute these prevention measures you probably have succeeded in avoiding mice infestation.
- Deny food
Do not keep food outside and clean lawns after BBQ parties. Keep dining table clear of leftover food and close trash cans tightly after you dump leftovers in to them. Take out garbage everyday and keep trash bins at a distance from your main building. Keep kitchen and food preparation counters clean and disinfect them to erase food smell. Deny water to rodents so empty bird feed, remove puddle of water from lawn and garden, keep cattle feed and bird seeds in closed containers. Do not leave food packets open and keep storage clean. If rodents do not get food and water they will go somewhere else. This is done if the infestation has already taken place and rodents are in small numbers.
