Mice Dangers
Mice are a severly dangerous infestation beyond what most people think. They are just just furry animals eating your food they are carriers of disease. Their fur is mattered with feces and they dedicate and urinate in their nests and on food that they eat. They shed frequently and this dander can float in the air and be inhaled. This can cause respiratory illness like hantavirus which can also be gotten from improper cleaning of mouse feces. They also carry parasites like fleas and ticks. These insects can pass on dangerous illnesses like blood born disease to you and your pets. Ticks carry a deadly and incurable disease called Lyme disease and mice themselves can spread staph infections. Getting rid of them is a must.
Mice life cycle
Mice are not just dangerous but extremely difficult to treat without hiring a professional exterminator. Snap traps, catpture traps and glue traps just do not work. The reason for this is that they can reproduce rapidly. A pregnant mouse can go from inception to birth an the span of a month and then get pregnant immediately after that. They can have up to 15 litters a year with ten babies per litter. Those babies grow rapidly and become sexually mature in just two to three weeks and can mate with each other without genetic defects like humans would get from inter breeding. This means their population growth is exponential and can over run your house very quickly.
Mice entry ways
Mice get into houses and apartment buildings very easily. They can enter through openings under doors, even getting in through a door that has been left open. They can squeeze through foundation gaps, electrical and plumbing vents which a lot of old houses and apartment buildings have after modern updates. There are endless entry ways mice can use to enter any human made structure but the most common is a door that opens and closes a lot. Restaurants and shops, back doors of houses with children and pets and of course, apartment buildings.
Pests and Apartments
Apartments are made up of a lot of people all living close together with no relation to each other. Its common in apartments to get infestations from other apartments and with some people just living with the infestation and not reporting causes a nightmare for tenants who do want the infestation gone. There is little that can be done especially for cockroaches and bed bugs when the management company cannot treat all the apartments that have the infestation. This is why it is so important to report any and all issues to the management company no matter how minor it is. Mice can spread like wildfire and are dangerous to have in your home.
Commercial treatment and Apartment Buildings
The best solution to these issues is to treat the entire building all at once. The apartments and the shared spaces all together in one go. A professional pest control company can do this by sending out a number of technicians to treat the building floor by floor, top to bottom.
