How to keep mice under control in your home

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

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

• Food protection – be careful not to attract mice with food. Meals must always be stored in plastic or steel containers. Regularly wash under stoves, refrigerators and cupboards.
• Doors – fit bristle (or brush) strips to the bottom of doors to prevent entry, particularly in older properties where the door fit might not be snug
• Holes – these are often made in exterior walls for pipes and cables; check that old pipework holes are sealed also
• Air bricks and vents – cover these with fine galvanised wire mesh especially if they are damaged
• Eaves – repair damaged roofing and use twine mesh to seal openings
• .Vegetation – trim tree branches back from the home and where possible avoid plants growing up the sides of your property. Overgrown vegetation close to the walls will offer mice shield and potential nesting sites
• Lawns – keep grass mown quick to reduce refuge and seeds for meals. Ideally, leave a gap among the building foundations and the yard.

After mice infestation is spotted, call the help of pest management professionals.

Detecting Mice Problems

To verify if you are experiencing mice problems in your home or in business Robina , here are indicative signs and symptoms that there is an infestation:

• Droppings – their droppings are the same as rats. They leave traces of it and are usually concentrated in one area. Their droppings looked like chocolate sprinkles and are smaller than rats.
• Gnawed items – mice will need to keep their teeth trimmed that is why they are fond of gnawing or chewing on hard materials other than food like wood and plastics. They can also have the capability to rip to pieces papers.
• Noises – clearly, you may hear scratching and squeaking within your walls or on your roof especially at night that mice are active

Other signs that there is a mice infestation:

• Pee and musty, stale odor
• Smear marks – these are often greasy marks left areas where they rub their skin accompanied by fur and dirt
• Ripped food packages

Deterring Mice Problems

A careful and regular inspection is the first step in discovering mice infestation. Doing so thoroughly can help deter any mice problems around Robina. Though DIY methods can help, they could only provide short-term solutions. Hence, it is good to think of long-term solutions to completely prevent such issues.

Actually, there are viable choices on how we can stop mice infestation but the simplest way is to seal entry points and keeping the surroundings clean.

Setting Traps and Baits

Traps are a powerful defence. This is applicable to mice that are abiding easily within the property. Obviously, we simply don’t set snares and baits like what we find in kid’s shows. Truth be told, there is a legitimate method to do this.

For traps, there are actually two types: the sticky ones and the spring-loaded. Sticky traps can provide success by entrapping the mouse alive though it also has its downside. CDC stated that live trapped mice can urinate out panic and mice urine can spread diseases.

For the spring-loaded trap, you need to set a bait to lure them, a piece of cheese for example. After preparing the trap, it’s vital to put the trap perpendicular to a wall (like a T). Lie these traps where you believe there is a good deal of mouse activity.
