Mice

It’s hard to control a mouse infestation on your own. Mice are incredibly resilient, reproduce quickly, and can survive on very little food and water. You might think that having mice in your home is just a nuisance, but it’s dangerous, too. Mouse droppings and urine can spread diseases like hantavirus and salmonellosis, which may contaminate the food you and your family eat.

Mouse Prevention Tips:

  • Throw out any paper or cardboard you have lying around your house. Mice look for these kinds of fibrous materials to build their nests.
  • Mice are attracted by even the smallest crumbs, so keeping your sink, counters, and other surfaces clear of food is crucial to keeping mice away. Wipe down all surfaces in your kitchen and clear out the sink before you go to bed each night.
  • Clear away pet food immediately after your pet is finished eating.
  • Poor sanitation will attract even more mice to your home, so it’s essential to maintain a clean home at all times.
  • Make sure to store all dry goods in tightly sealed containers and store all produce in the refrigerator.
  • Ensure that all your garbage cans – both inside and outside – have tight-fitting lids that are always replaced after use.
