Mice are small mammals with beady eyes and tiny feet and they are very fond of you because you are providing food and shelter to them during winters. They don’t ask permission before building their nest in your rooms or eating food and they do both these with great freedom. What they do not know is that they are enjoying life to the fullest at your expense and you are totally pissed off with them. Your next step under these circumstances is to approach the best mouse exterminator Kleinburg such as BBPP and get rid of them at once. Knowing something about mice will also help in your endeavor and here are some amazing facts that would like to keep in memory:
Mice is of Asian origin
Mouse originated from Asia though they are spread through many continents in the world. Both Europe and North America is teeming with them. It is chronicled that traders from Asia brought these species in their travel by ship. You may think that it is better to move to a place where mice do not exist unfortunately except Antarctica every continent has them, so there is no escape route. Even New Zealand and Australia is not spared.
Comes in variety of colors
Mice don different colors and color combinations. They can be black or brown, grey or white or mixture of all these colors. Most common mice species or your house mouse can be black or gray and wear brown tint. The white footed mouse for an example is dark brown but its belly and legs are white. In North America you will find them in your homes hiding in the most secretive places.
Mice take just 20 days to deliver babies
Gestation period of a female mouse is only 20 days, and that is quick. It can deliver 5-6 puppies in one litter and they can go through the process many times in a year. Sometimes their litter may go up to 12 per and that is how they grow in numbers and prosper. A lone mouse in a year can multiply in to about 60 or more.
Change sleeping habit according to environment
One of the reasons quoted for their night activities is they being nocturnal. This is not the only reason that prevents them from venturing out during day. They are mostly active during night and in the morning because these are times where they are unlikely to come face to face with predators. Human activity during nights is restricted to bed hence mice come out boldly and hunt food and destroy assets.
Cheese is not first love
We have seen mouse diving in to cheese on movies and TV show but actually cheese is not their favorite food like most of us think and believe. Researchers have tested mice with the cheese, grapes and peanuts and they chose peanuts. Some preferred to go for grapes but none looked towards cheese.
So many animated movies show mice enjoying cheese, and countless images of mousetraps with cheese bait exist. However, cheese is not as appealing to mice as you might think. In one study researchers tested whether mice preferred cheese, peanuts, or grapes. Mice almost exclusively chose the peanuts. One chose the grape, but none went for the cheese. This can be proved by the scientific finding that mice prefer wood to sink their teeth so they can be blunted.
Mice chat in their own unique language or sounds
Mice communicate with each other and also warn their pals when they see danger in the form of coming towards them. That is the reason you hear so much noise from your basement, under the floor and inside the false ceiling etc. they also use their body movements and gestures to communicate with other mice.
Ever growing front teeth
Mice have incisor teeth that keep growing perennially from their jaws till their teeth. This is reason why they chew on materials other than food. Any hard object is fodder for them and they will sink their teeth on them and nibble, gnaw, rip and scratch.
