How to keep mice under control in your home

Mice take a food source, refuge and easy access. They select dry, warm areas where they may be no more disturbed and may build nests.

There are also preventative ways we can do to minimise mice encounter at home particularly if the source of infestation is not yet identified. Here are a few to do so before calling the aid of experts:

• Food protection – be careful to not attract mice with meals. Meals must always be stored in plastic or steel containers. Regularly clean under stoves, refrigerators and cupboards.
• Doors – fit bristle (or brush) strips to the bottom of doors to save you access, particularly in older homes wherein the doorway match might not be snug
• Holes – these are often made in exterior walls for cables and pipes; take a look at that old pipework holes and guarantee they are sealed too
• Air bricks and vents – cover those with best galvanised cable net, mainly if they are damaged
• Eaves – repair damaged roofing and utilise wire mesh to seal gaps
• .Vegetation – trim tree branches back in the house and where possible avoid plants growing up the sides of your property. Overgrown vegetation near the walls will offer mice shield and potential nesting sites
• Lawns – keep grass mown quick to decrease refuge and seeds for foods. Ideally depart a gap among the building foundations and the yard.

Detecting Mice Problems

To confirm if you are experiencing mice problems at home or in business, here are indicative signs that there is an infestation:

• Droppings – their droppings are the same as rats. They leave traces of it and are usually concentrated in one area. Their droppings looked like chocolate sprinkles and are smaller than rats.
• Gnawed things – mice will need to keep their teeth trimmed that is why they are fond of gnawing or chewing on hard materials aside from food like wood and plastics. They can also have the capability to rip to pieces papers.
• Gnawed items – mice will need to keep their teeth trimmed which is why they are fond of gnawing or chewing on hard materials other than food like wood and plastics. They can also have the capability to rip to pieces papers.

Setting Traps and Baits

Here at [pest] control services, we pride ourselves with our comprehensive knowledge, abilities and pest management technology advancements.

For traps, there are actually two types: the tacky ones and the spring-loaded. Sticky traps can offer success by entrapping the mouse alive though it also has its downside. CDC stated that live trapped mice can urinate out fear and mice urine can spread diseases.

For the spring-loaded trap, you need to set a bait to lure them, a slice of cheese for example. After preparing the trap, it is vital to put the trap perpendicular to a wall (like a T). Lie these traps where you believe there is a good deal of mouse activity.
