Mice can damage your property & mental peace

  • Destabilise structural integrity by digging holes inside holes and enlarging them
  • Dig in to woodwork in need of wood fibre for nest building and in the process damage the shape and integrity of furniture items, door frames, windows, storage cabinets, and shelves.
  • They will rip and shred clothing to cosy up their nest and also drill holes in upholstery and pull out cotton, sponge, cushions, foam etc
  • They will target lonely places like your wardrobe where you hang your costly dresses and shred them for using in the nest.
  • Electric wires, panels, conduit pipes, switch panels, wood railing, insulation, home appliances, and contents of dressers and table drawers are not safe from them. they will nibble, gnaw, chew and slice through the above items to produce nest building materials
  • Mice can start accidental fires when they try to cut live wires. They may get a shock but can importantly cause electrical short circuit thus creating the possibility of accidental fire. Just for a second imagine what would happen to your property if you are not there at such events.
  • They can shred some of your old documents that are important and use the spoils as nesting material.

Ransack your food stock

Mice primarily do two things and they are scavenging for food and collecting nesting materials. They are also compulsive eaters and use their teeth without giving them rest. Mice have formidable front teeth that are sharp and strong and they irritate them with their continuously evolution. Mice are forced to bite, gnaw or snip articles and in the process stunt the growth of their ever growing incisors. They will raid your food shelves, storage room, kitchen and other places where you keep raw or cooked food and eat and contaminate them. They won’t spare bird seeds and cattle feed besides ripping open food packages and spilling them on the ground. Another serious thing they do is to urinate or defecate on the spilled food and contaminate them. Mice contaminated food is unfit for consumption and may cause infections if you do.
