How to tell You Have Mice Infestation in Your Home

If you have mice infestation it is important that you get rid of them at once. You know very well that mice are of no use to you and also know that they are capable of causing damage to your property, heath and economy. In such cases you should plan mice removal with expert mice removal Etobicoke like BBPP, most effective pest control entity in the area and also serving nearby areas. The first thing you do to eliminate mice is to detect signs of mouse activity and where they originate from. Mice come uninvited in to your house and seek hidden shelters to build nests. In the course of building nests they leave plenty of clues that directly connect them with mice presence and activity. You can track down those clues and come to a conclusion that you are being infested by a particular type of mice or rats. 

How to detect mice activities?

If you are having a solitary or couple of mice in your home you won’t find many telltale signs but if the infestation is big then you will get plenty of them and they are:

  • Mice droppings found in kitchen, store rooms, isolated or not so frequently used places
  • Small foot prints on dusty floors of your house
  • Shredded papers, clothing, insulation material and wiring
  • Gnaw and bite marks on furniture, wood work and plastic materials
  • Unmistakable ammonia like odor emanating from the body of rodents
  • Sudden disappearance of articles from your kitchen, dining table and other places where you leave food articles casually
  • Rodent noises such as screeching, scratching, chattering and scurrying heard during the still of the nights from various part of your home
  • Oddly behavior from your pet dog or cat and their focus on a particular area or spot
  • Ripped open food packets, scattered cereals, urine stains, black rice sized droppings etc

If you find some of the above mentioned signs you can safely assume that you are experiencing mice infestation in your house and you should seek mouse control Etobicoke to chalk out plans for mice elimination.

What should you do after mice detection?

Most people will opt for the conventional mice elimination procedures such as deploying traps and baits. You may also do them but it will work only when you have a couple of mice. If it is a colony you are dealing with then it won’t work. More than a dozen mice will prove difficult to remove as it will be time consuming and the ideas will stop working after mice get the first taste of your tactics. Mice are clever and suspicious and they won’t fall for your traps as times go by. You should invite rat control Etobicoke and discuss plans for rodent prevention and elimination.

Prevention measures

You can resort to blocking their entry by closing all gaps, crevices, and holes in your outer walls and sealing the breaches in your roof, windows and doors. Removing food items from vicinity and keeping them in closed containers is another ploy. Overall you should make your home unattractive to mice and that can be accomplished only by denying entry and food to mice and rats.
