The small house mouse is a dangerous foe because it is small, invisible, extremely agile and highly destructive. It is canny and deceit because it lives in your property, eat your food and protects itself from predators by the shelter of your home and still destroy your assets such as furniture, home appliances, insulation, electric panels and wiring and many other things. Mice are hard to catch as they have tremendous agility and speed which is not matched by human reactions. You have to take them out intelligently or it will be a difficult task for you. It is better left to the experience of mouse exterminator Markham, as they are professionals and knows all about rodents and how to deal with them.
Material damage dealt by your house mouse
Rodents are compulsive chewers and gnawers and they use their long incisors with great effect to cut, tear, and shred household items. Nothing escapes their attention though they are practically blind. They have great sense of smell and can easily identify items and deal with them as they deem fit. They have a penchant for going after house hold items and structural objects such as
- Wood furniture
- Upholstered furniture
- Sofas, lounge, ottoman and love seats
- Wardrobe
- Cabinets, dressers drawers, and shelves
- Doors and window frames
- Containers such as plastic, cardboard, paper and even aluminum
- Clothing, newspapers, carpet, wood piles
Property damage
They do it on purpose as well as on habit. They collect nesting material from the above items and collect wood fiber, shredded papers, fabric, sponge from furniture filling, carpet strands and wool, and build their nest in concealed places such as wardrobe, chest of drawers, behind cabinets, under pile of clothing, inside sofas, car seats, car engine, and many other places. Their incisors keep growing and to keep the within limit they gnaw and bite at things and that is the reason you will find gnaw or chew marks on furniture, stairs, window and door frames, insulation, wiring, electricity panels, kitchen and home appliances and many other things. This makes them extremely dangerous to your property as they even don’t spare drywall and sidings.
Food waste and contamination
Besides this they will set up on your food storage and spillage them. If you have sacks of grain in your barn or bag of seeds they will rip open the containers and eat and spill them. Besides wasting them they will also defecate and urinate on the food material which apparently becomes contaminated with their droppings. Mice like to eat cereals, seeds, nuts, pet food, fruits, greasy and sugary items, butter, and insects. When they steal your food they simply don’t care what they are eating and how much they are wasting. Once they go through your food storage you cannot use the material again because they become contaminated paving the base for terminal illnesses like Hantavirus, Plague, Rate Bite Fever, Salmonella, LCMV and others. You will have to spend lots of dollars to repair items damaged by mice. A torn carpet, chewed insulation, scratched wood, shredded clothing, and wasted food will take a lot of money to buy or repair.
