Mouse infestation will eventually grow in to a big issue if it is not controlled in the beginning stage. You may find a stray mouse nibbling food crumb in your kitchen and ignore it as a solitary mouse. You should not be committing this because it is the fore warning for bigger evil to come. Increased number of rats or mice means extensive destruction of property, food and household items. A colony of mice in your home can be a big nuisance and possible spreader of diseases that are lethal. If it is a single mouse you have spotted in your kitchen then keep track of its activities and you will eventually find its nest where you will detect the presence of more of its ilk. Mice are not desirable in a household because of the above consequences so it is better advised to engage professional mouse exterminator Vaughan like BBPP the most experienced mice removal team in the town and for nearby towns.
If mice infestation is in the initial stage you can resort to the following prevention measures:
Seal trash Bins
Mice seek food in trash bins and they are conveniently placed alongside your house. This is a welcome sign for pests such as rats and mice. Keep the bin sealed tightly and take out garbage every day. When mice find no garbage to rummage through they will leave your house alone after a few days.
Cut off dense garden plants
Mice like to live in concealed places like your garden plants. Plan it such a way that the garden shrubs and thickets are planted at some distance from your foundation. Keeping the soil level lower than your siding can thwart mice attempts to thread their way in to your main building. Or simply do not plant dense shrubs even if it makes your ambience beautiful.
Keep dry foods sealed
Dry foods like sugar, flour and other are stored in paper bags or cardboard boxes which are easy to breach by rodents. Mice have sharp frontal teeth that are capable of shredding paper and cardboard boxes. Keep them in metal containers and mice won’t attempt to steal the content. Sealing food in tight containers also prevent food smell from spreading through air. Mice detect food by smell and will leave when they smell no food.
Open doors are open invitations
If you keep your doors always opened is an unconditional invitation to mice. Keep doors closed most times and install mesh doors as a secondary option. You can also block windows with mesh screen which will prevent mice from entering and at the same time facilitate good flow of air and sunlight in to your rooms.
Keep house clean
Keep your surfaces clean off food smell. Food smell attracts rodents so use disinfectants to wipe the smell of your kitchen counters, dining table and other places where you process or eat food. Always throw leftovers in closed bins and make it a practice to take garbage out.
