How to keep mice under control in your home

Mice take a food source, shelter and easy access. They prefer dry, warm areas where they are not disturbed and can build nests.

There are many ways to help keep mice under control in your home or business units. Here are a few:

• Food security – be careful not to attract mice with food. Where possible food should be stored in metal or plastic containers. Regularly wash under stoves, refrigerators and cupboards.
• Doors – fit bristle (or brush) strips to the bottom of doors to prevent entry, especially in older properties where the door fit might not be snug
• Holes – these are often created in exterior walls for pipes and cables; consider that old pipework holes and ensure they are sealed too
• Air bricks and vents – protect those with best galvanised cord mesh, mainly if they’re damaged
• Eaves – fix damaged material and use wire work to seal holes
• Vegetation – trim tree branches lower back from the home and wherein viable keep away from plants growing up the sides of your private home. Overgrown plants near the Walls will provide mice shelter and capacity to do nesting sites.
• Lawns – maintain grass mown quick to reduce refuge and seeds for foods. Ideally leave a gap among the construction 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 – because they may be cousins with rats, mice leave lines in their waste droppings which looks like chocolate sprinkles and smaller than rat droppings, which is focused in a single place. If you locate one, DO NOT get into contact as you may be susceptible to accumulate illnesses.
• Urine – the odor of their dark coloured urine can be nasty. If you find one and may be surrounded by their droppings, DO NOT attempt to clean it without even wearing protective gear such as masks, gloves and long sleeved clothing.
• Noise – clearly, you may hear scratching and squeaking within your walls or on your rooftop particularly during the day which mice are generally dynamic.

Other signs that there is a mice infestation:

• Pee and unmistakable rancid odor
• Smear marks
• Ripped food packages

Deterring Mice Problems

A site inspection is a first phase in distinguishing mice infestation. Doing this can help to identify the species and produce the right treatment plan. Though DIY methods can help, this doesn’t guarantee 100 percent eradication. Actually, it can only give short-term solutions. That is why it is still best to employ long-term solutions provided by professionals.

In fact, there are viable options on how we can stop mice infestation but the simplest method is to seal entry points and keeping the surroundings clean.

Setting Traps and Baits

Traps are a solid defense. This is applicable to mice that are dwelling comfortably within the property. Of course, we simply don’t set traps and baits like what we see in cartoons. In fact, there’s a proper way to do this.

We guarantee our customers a pest-free environment by delivering them cost-effective treatment management for pest without undermining its quality.

For the spring-loaded trap, a lure is needed to lure rodents, a slice of cheese is an example. After setting the trap and bait, put the trap perpendicular to a wall (like a T). Put these traps where you believe you where the rodents are nestling.
