There are few things as unsettling as a mouse sighting in your home. It's the type of thing that nightmares and horror movies are made of. It can be tempting to ignore what you saw and pretend it didn't happen, but that can be a mistake for many reasons. Yes, a single mouse may enter your home and leave within the hour, but your odds of winning in Vegas are probably better. There are three very good reasons you may want to instead hire a professional mice control company to come and take a look.
Where There's One There Is More
Like many other creatures, mice are often together in a group. It's rare to only see one mouse in a house. Quite often a mother mouse will have a whole litter and they will live in a house that's warm and has food to eat. If you see a mouse and put out a trap and catch it, and then evidence emerges that another mouse is present (e.g. feces and eaten food packing), there are likely several more around. Professional mice removal will be able to locate all of the spots in your home that mice can fit through. They also know where to look and what to look for when it comes to where the mice may be spending the most time. Once their traps are set, you can get rid of the litter quickly.
Mice Carry Disease and Damage Things
Aside from the concern of your mouse population growing in size, not completely removing the problem could leave your home vulnerable to several issues. Mice eat holes in walls and wiring, plus cause damage to furniture and other expensive things. There is also the big concern of the diseases spread through mice poop and urine; a large group of mice will be spreading both all along the areas they frequent. For this reason, it's worth the cost of remedying the problem quickly. Once the mice are removed, it's a good idea to have carpets and furniture cleaned and to remove any food from the home that may have been contaminated by the pests.
Mice Can Move to Nearby Homes
Some people may not realize how quickly a mice or rat problem can invest an entire area. They reproduce quickly and have large litters. To minimize how many mice come in, it's good to have all mice removed from you home, and then inform neighbors of the issue if you feel comfortable doing so. Professional mice removal services use humane traps so they can move the mice from away from the community to prevent infestation.
Local mice removal services can help you find the spots where mice may dwell and determine if you have an infestation problem. It's worth it to keep your home a safe and healthy environment to live.
