What are the telltale signs of mice infestation?
Before going to that we would like to tell you why mice choose human homes for habitation. They seek refuge in your home because of three things namely
- Warm shelter for building nests
- Protection from cold and predators
- Readily available food
With the single stroke of deciding to enter your homes, mice achieve the above 3 goals quite easily. While migrating from fields and wild to human homes they are drastically less in numbers. A solitary mouse or a couple of mice take the initial step of entering your home via small holes and crevices found in your building. This event pass without any hindrance or detection, and that is the reason most home owners are not aware that they have mice in their mid. They come to know only when very strange things start taking place in their homes with rapid regularity. To satisfy your curiosity you can place a piece of peanut butter or bacon on the dining table, near the fridge or under the sink and check the places after a few hours. If there are mice in your home it will disappear and if not you can safely assume that mice entry in to your home has not taken place.
