Dangers posed by mice

  • Loss and contamination of food material

Mice in search of food can raid your food stock and waste and contaminate them in the process. They spill food items on the floor while they eat them and also urinate or defecate over them. This way food material such as cereals can be poisoned due to contamination. They breed big colonies and have hundreds of hungry mouths that prowl the home during nights and bite in to your food stock and fast erode quantity and volume.

  • Structural damage

Rodents like mice can cause extensive structural damage to homes. They have sharp teeth that allow them to eat, chew, bite and gnaw at wooden furniture, insulation, wiring, plastic material, clothing, paper and anything that come across. Damaged furniture or dry wall will take money to repair and costly furniture and carpet can be damaged beyond repair needing immediately replacement.

  • Spread of disease

Mice and rats can spread diseases among inhabitants by the virus they carry in their body. They also carry ticks and fleas in their body that carry deadly viruses like Hantavirus, Bubonic Plague, LCMV, Salmonellosis, Rate-bite-fever, Tularemia etc.    These are serious illnesses that can produce serious symptoms and side effects sometimes leading to fatalities. Hantavirus can affect y our respiratory system, kidney and blood related issues. LCMV will produce flu like signs and symptoms such as cough, joint paint, sour throat, chest pain, salivary gland pain and testicular pain. In the second phase this disease can cause neurological problems including fever, headache, stiff neck, brain fever related to meningoencephalitis and encephalitis.

If you do not address these diseases immediately and get medical attention it will lead to serious consequences such as death. Mice waste food material while stealing them from your storage. They cut open cereal bags, plastic food containers and rip paper bags and cartons to steal food and in the process scatter them over your floors and contaminate them by their foot prints, urine, droppings and saliva.
