Christmas Mice

At this time of year, if you hear scratching noises it maybe a mouse stirring. Mice are looking for some nice Christmas presents as well and you might not know that you are giving them what they want. During the Christmas holidays, your house is most likely to have all the treats mice love, including cookies, cake, bread, rice, pasta, cereal and cheese. As well, rodent infestations in Delta have increased by 25% between October and December this year compared to 2016. Your Christmas tree is like a giant playground for mice. Keep the Christmas tree away from doors or windows to reduce the risk of mice gaining access to your tree. Fill your Christmas stockings with non-edible gifts or food stored in a plastic or metal container. After Christmas dinner, store leftovers in airtight containers in your fridge and dispose of waste in a sealed garbage container. Mice love to gnaw on wrapping paper and cardboard boxes for their nests, so to protect your presents store them in plastic lidded boxes and discard wrapping paper in lidded recycling bins.
