5 types of mice diseases you could become victim to
Mice are natural habitat of infectious diseases which they pass on to human and pets via droppings, urine, saliva and body grease etc. Mice come in to contact with your property when they start chewing drywall, electric wires, sheet rock, furniture etc. This they do in order to blunt their perennially growing front teeth which could kill them if allowed to outgrow mice size. Mice have no definite control over their bladder hence urinate and defecate wherever they go and in the process contaminate your home surfaces. It should be noted that they could contaminate kitchen most because they have more chances of getting leftovers and food residues from food preparation areas. It means definite contamination of your kitchen that use regularly on a daily basis.

- Leptospirosis
This disease is spread through an infected mouse’ urine or urine stains and is a more common disease in countries with tropical climates. The disease can cause meningitis or bleeding in the lungs. Mice can travel easily to other parts of the world as they can access a number of transportation modes. Your destination is not an exception to this fact and even colder Canada can be affected by the migration.
