Mice are clever and industrious little creatures, but they cause serious problems if they take up residence in your home. A few mice hanging around can quickly become a colony because of their prolific breeding habits.

Mice control Oakville is essential for residents, so you stop potential infestations. Humane wildlife control is the best way to handle mice issues. Experts get to the source of the problem and use professional techniques to remove animals and protect you and your property.

1. Mice Are Disease Carriers

Mice find their way throughout your entire home, so you might encounter them in a cupboard or see waste left on countertops or other surfaces. They nest anywhere possible, leaving behind an enormous number of droppings and urine. This is a problem because mice can spread serious diseases.

Some types of mice carry the hantavirus, which is a potentially deadly pulmonary disease. Additionally, they spread lymphocytic choriomeningitis — which causes severe neurological conditions — and salmonella, a severe form of food poisoning. It’s important to seek professional help when dealing with infestations and clean up, so you don’t contract these diseases.

2. Mice Are Pest Carriers

Mice populations carry opportunistic pests, like fleas and ticks, into your living space. These pests also carry diseases, so mice expose you to other harmful health conditions indirectly.

Ticks carry Lyme disease. If mice nest in your clothing or blankets, they can leave behind ticks that transfer to your body. Fleas are carriers of parasites and tapeworms and cause infestation and health problems when mice bring them into homes.

3. Mice Cause Home Structural Damages

Mice are notorious chewers. They will eat through all types of building materials inside homes. Their teeth are essential for survival, so they chew anything in your home to keep this primary tool in tip-top shape.

Mice gnaw on wood, paper, PVC pipes, siding, wires and fabrics. All mice engage in this behaviour, so an unchecked colony will eventually do so much damage to a home, it becomes structurally unsafe.
