Mice in your house
If you have mice in your home you are in danger. Mice carry with them a plethora of viruses and bacteria many of which are deadly to humans. They also carry parasites like fleas and ticks which can also infect you with things like Lyme disease with is incurable and deadly after just twenty-four hours in your body. If you have mice you need to get rid of them, and fast.
European House Mice
Many people who have mice in their homes are unaware that house mice are not native to this continent and were brought here when people sailed to the new world on ships. The same goes for rats which are called Norway rats and are not at all from this continent. Rats in general are not native to America at all. Like potatoes and tomatoes, they are foreign. One of the issues around this is that rats and house mice are a danger to our ecology. They can damage our ecosystem by hunting animals that previously had no predators here.
Domestic treatment
Domestic treatments for mice do not work. Unless you plan to fill your home with a thousand snap traps. Mice reproduce rapidly and the population is constantly growing. They can mate with each other and can produce up to ten babies at a time. Those babies age rapidly and can mate and produce again very quickly.
Domestic poison
Using poison you buy from the store is not a great idea. The chemical content is very low and it is not a rodenticide so it will not be effective and is not flavoured properly. The mice may ignore and continue eating your food. They can survive on crumbs so while you can store your food in containers you still have to eat crumbs you may not even notice can feed them for weeks.
Commercial grade treatment
Getting a commercial treatment done is much more effective, faster and easier as you don’t have to deal with it on your own. Professionals who have seen and solved hundreds, if not thousands of mouse infestations before will know what to do right away. They know where the mice are and how to get them to eat the bait.
Sealing entryways
They will also know how to find entranceways the mice can use to get into your home and seal them off with the proper tools and materials. They can give you a warranty on the service that will ensure the mice are gone for good. Don’t try doing it yourself, you will never get rid of them. Just catch them on and on forever. Call a professional who can get rid of them for good. Always get every entryway sealed that you can. This will prevent mice and other rodents from getting into your home in the future and being that mice are seasonal, often trying to get in during the cooler months it will be the best protection money can buy.
