Mice invade homes for shelter, food and protection of their babies. They start building nests by gathering household materials like cotton, clothing, paper, spongy materials and anything that is soft and stolen from your home. They also choose isolated and dark location so they could remain unnoticed. Your homes offer plenty of hiding places like basement, foundation, attic, barn and garage besides the clutter you keep inside your rooms. Mice may surprise you by building nests right under your nose and go unnoticed. You will build nests in false ceiling and under your floor boards and you will come to know only when you start hearing strange noises from these places in the dead of night. Mice are cunning, scheming and deceptive characters and you may not notice their presence for months until your first sighting of their droppings on your floors. If you already have mice infestation at home then it is wiser to call professional mice exterminator like BBPP, the best mice control Mississauga and remove them from your life spaces.
Here are some tips that will help prevent or remove mice:
- Use mouse traps
Trapping mice with the traditional traps is effective when you have few mice in your home. Two types of mouse traps are available and they are live traps that enable you to catch mice and release them in the field far away and other traps that are designed to kill mice when it is trapped. The wooden snap traps are ideal for small mice population. But for larger infestation you will have to place several traps and check them every morning for mouse capture. You can place baits like bacon, peanut butter or dried fruits. Trapping is instant and result producing and is the right choice if you have few mice living in your house. If the infestation is big consisting of several dozen mice, then you will have to call professional help as you won’t be able to manage the task.
- Baiting them
Bait stations are packed rat poison mixed in meals and kept as bait to lure mice. They come in sealed plastic, cellophane or paper material and are easy to cut or chew by mice. When a mouse bites in to the bait it will die. However you have to be careful about selecting this method because there are state laws that may prevent you from using rodenticide without proper knowledge and training that professionals are drilled with. The method is fast acting but is inhuman, dangerous and expensive and may require a license to apply. Bait stations may lure pets, kids and other wildlife nearby so they are dangerous to use.
- Use Repellants
There are over the counter mice repellants and sprays available in the store across the road. You can use them to drive away mice. It is also important that you read the label and understand what type of repellent you are buying. Repellents made out of chemicals may be harmful to environment, pets and family members. You can buy and use repellents that are environment safe. This method again is not for bigger mice population.
