Mice are difficult to get out of school premises because they provide a number of hiding places that are hard to keep track of. When mice invade your school it is apparent that they will chew at everything that look like food or nesting material which may include books, cardboard boxes, art projects, electric wires, plastic bags and what you have in them. They will destroy these materials with ease when they increase in numbers and also make a mess of your school space by their urine and droppings. Besides leaving unpleasant smell in the air they will also spread diseases, parasites and escalate allergies among the attendees. The whole scenario could become intolerable both hygienically and aesthetically and your best shot at getting rid of them is to engage the services of BBPP, the best rodent control Vaughan serving the area and adjacent districts.
Here are few tips on how to get rid of mice from your school building

Mice dig deep burrows along building foundations, around gardens, beneath trash piles, storm drains and unused sewers. They could also build nests in school store rooms, library, rooms where you dump old records, cardboard boxes, broken furniture, and pile of discarded articles. You have to locate them and remove them. Also hunt for entry points that you may find along the walls, ceiling voids, roof, under racks and shelves and seal them permanently.
Lay traps
When you find sign of mice presence in your school premises you can lay traps on mice trail, which is usually along walls, corners and entry points. Different kinds of trap are available for the purpose and depending on how you want to capture them or exterminate them you can buy traps and place them in those places. Snap traps and sticky or glue traps have been found effective in trapping mice at various circumstances.
Keep trash under lid
A school generates tremendous amount of waste containing paper, plastic covers, lunch wrappers, leftover lunch, and waste from school canteen, storage boxes and others relevant to school functioning. You need to correctly segregate the waste in to separate bins and keep them closed with tight lids. You must enforce strict discipline among the attendees so they don’t throw waste in the open. Smell of food and nesting materials attract them and by covering the bins with tight lids will prevent that.
Clean school and surrounds regularly
Cleaning the school every day will prevent waste and garbage from piling up. Empty trash bins, clean food serving areas, student locker rooms, desks and cubbies every day. Art supplies and paper should be sealed in tight containers and do the same to food for students. Before removing leftover food it must be sealed in plastic bags and then disposed in the bin. Repair broken window panes and sky light and also keep indoor bins lined with disposable plastic bags.
