I’m quite often asked how common are mouse infestations? Well statistically 85% of homes show some evidence of mouse activity at one point in the life of the building. Still this doesn’t mean that you should set-up a mouse eradication program but if you’re spotting the little rodents then it is time to do something about it. If you do have a mouse problem it is dangerous and should be dealt with, because mice in your living space are unsafe. Mice can carry diseases that are harmful to you, your family and your pets. Because those mice are drawn to food, those potential diseases are that much closer. Also, rodents are actually a fairly common cause of electrical issues because they don’t know what they are gnawing on, so they have no suspicions about chomping right through them. Here lies the greatest concern, what if they cause enough damage to start a fire? It is believed that almost 10% of all house fires may be caused by rodents. So start with the basics: makes sure the floor and countertops are clear of food, seal and store all dried products in hard plastic containers. Next, buy the small mice snap traps, and seal up gaps in the walls behind the stove and under the sinks. If you are a renter, demand the problem is taken care of by your landlord.
