Mice trouble is everywhere and your town should not be an exception including your home.  Rodents like rats and mice infest homes and contaminate them, steal food and destroy them and damage structure and spread diseases like Hantavirus, Leptospirosis, Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCMV), Tularemia and Salmonella. These are deadly disease that could sometime leads to death if addressed at once. Mice infestation is hard to get rid of because of their characteristics.

 Let them live in your home and suffer from the following:

  • As we said mice infestation will ruin your home and your peace. They will scurry around throughout night in search of food and in the process keep you awake. They will drop hair, feces and urine on the floor and contaminate them. They will do likewise with your food stock as they will tear open food pockets and spill them all over the floor while eating some of them. They will also contaminate the food material in the process and contaminate your kitchen counter, dining table and preparation areas. The contamination will spread to your family members and with it the above said diseases.
  • Mice are fond of nibbling, gnawing and chewing wooden furniture and wire insulations. This would mean damage to your wood work and house wiring. This would lead to large scale damage as you will spend lots of money to restore furniture and wiring and electric panels. Rats can chew live wires and engineer a short circuit to cause fire
  • They live in concealed places like wall voids, crevices, attic, barn, under car engine hood, left over clutter, pile of wood and other congested places and that makes it difficult to track them down. When they grow in colony you will smell the presence of permanent stench which is absolutely unpleasant for the nostrils.
  • They will cut into carpets, paper, cardboard boxes, plastic containers, fabrics, and other soft materials to collect nest building material and in the process cause damages amounting to hundreds or thousands of dollars.
