Can you tackle mouse infestation at home on your own?

Mice infestation of home is a big issue prevalent in North America and other parts of the world. Mice consume hundreds and thousands of tons of grains and other food materials each year and they are in continuous process of multiplying and spreading. If you are asked the question “can you tackle mouse infestation on your own” the answer will be a confident yes, which may be derived out of confidence gained by the signing of a lone mouse in the house. But in practicality it is impossible to tackle mouse infestation if it is more than a single mouse and will require the expertise of BBPP, best mouse exterminator Vaughan to do that.

Reasons why you cannot eradicate mouse infestation on your own?

At first sight a mouse will look small, rather tiny, and harmless with its beady innocent eyes and spongy body. You may be deceived by the appearance but intention behind the fragile exterior is highly dangerous and destructive. You may resort to the following measures to eliminate them from your premises:

  • Using traps with baits and hoping to catch them during the night. You will be successful because mice are suckers for bait items like cheese, marshmallows, beef, peanut butter, or even dental floss. If there are more than a couple of them you will eventually find out that it is difficult to catch them all. Mouse may get wise and refuse to take the bait or you may have to wait for many days before another one takes the bait. If you have large number of mice nesting in your premises the process may be tedious and you will have to keep a tight vigil on the traps on a regular basis.
  • You may resort to exterminate them using over the counter rodenticides and again it is not a practical solution because you won’t know what the rodenticide contains and whether it is safe to use in your home. Without knowledge of the chemicals it may be harmful to use in the house and especially when you have children and pets in your home. rodenticides are used by professional mouse exterminators who have deep knowledge of the and what they are capable of. So it is better left to them than using it on your own.
  • Preventing is another way you can stop the infestation and it will require skills, patience and knowledge of mice and their life habits to accomplish it. You can plug the holes and gaps through which mice enter your home. You can deter mouse by spreading scents that mice don’t like and growing plants that emit those scents. It is again a long winded process that may take months and by the time the infestation would have multiplied many times.

Detection before extermination is important and it will take skills and observation to detect whether mouse has settled in your home. The best idea under these circumstances is to call in professional exterminators like BBPP, most skilled pest control Vaughan and let them tackle the situation expertly.
