How to keep mice under control in your home

Mice take a food source, refuge and easy access. They select dry, warm areas around Guanaba in which they may be no more disturbed and might build nests.

There are also preventative ways we can do to minimise mice encounter at home particularly if the source of infestation is not yet identified. Here are a few to do so before calling the help of experts:

• Food protection – be cautious to not attract mice with food. Meals must always be stored in plastic or steel containers. Regularly clean under stoves, refrigerators and cabinets.
• Doors – fit bristle (or brush) strips to the bottom of doors to prevent entry, particularly in older properties where the door fit may not be snug
• Holes – these are often created in exterior walls for cables and pipes; consider that old pipework holes and ensure they are sealed too
• Air bricks and vents – cover those with fine galvanised wire mesh particularly if they’re damaged
• Eaves – repair damaged roofing and use twine mesh to seal openings
• Vegetation – trim tree branches lower back from the house and wherein viable keep away from plants growing up the sides of your private home. Overgrown plants close to the walls will provide mice shelter and capacity to do nesting sites.
• Lawns – maintain grass mown short to reduce shield and seeds for food. Ideally leave a gap between the construction foundations and the backyard.

Detecting Mice Problems

To confirm if you are experiencing mice problems at your Guanaba home or in business, here are indicative signs that there is an infestation:

• Droppings – since they’re cousins with rats, mice leave traces of their waste droppings which looks like chocolate sprinkles and smaller compared to rat droppings, which can be concentrated in one area. If you find one, DO NOT touch as you will be vulnerable to acquire diseases.
• Bitten up packages or stuff – this is clear as you might discover some bit up bits of stuff like papers or even the surfaces of your furnishings.
• Noises – clearly, you may hear scratching and squeaking in your walls or in your roof especially at night which mice are most active

Other signs that there is a mice infestation:

• Pee and distinct stale 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 come up with the perfect treatment plan. Though DIY methods can help, this doesn’t guarantee 100 per cent eradication. In fact, it can only give short-term solutions. That’s why it is still best to employ long-term solutions offered by Guanaba professionals.
