How to keep a mice infestation from becoming a big problem
Our city is rich with life, including a wide array of wildlife. And while most of them stay out in the wild, some, like mice, may find their way into our homes. Today, let's have a chat about recognizing the telltale signs of a mouse infestation and the steps we can take to prevent these tiny visitors.
1. Spot the Signs
First things first, let's talk about what to look out for. Mice are quite discreet, and the evidence they leave behind is often subtle. This could include droppings, gnaw marks on food packages or wires, or even a distinctive musky odor. You may also hear scratching sounds in the walls or attic during the quiet of the night.
2. Sanitation is Key
A clean home is your first line of defense against a mouse invasion. Regularly clear away food crumbs, keep your kitchen and pantry tidy, and ensure your garbage bins are well sealed. Remember, if there's nothing for them to feast on, they're less likely to make themselves at home.
3. Seal the Entries
Mice are crafty and can squeeze through surprisingly small openings. Inspect your home for any cracks, gaps, or holes, and seal them off. This includes areas around windows, doors, and utility pipes.
4. Declutter
Piles of boxes or clutter can offer a cozy hideout for our rodent friends. Regularly declutter your home, paying special attention to attics, basements, and garages - the spots mice love the most.
5. Call the Experts
If you suspect a mouse infestation, it's best to call professionals like us at General's Wildlife Removal. We have the knowledge and equipment to effectively and humanely handle the situation.
6. Preventive Measures
