Mice
An Overview Of Our Mice Pest Control Services
What are the clear signs of a Mouse infestation?
Mice are nocturnal and crepuscular (active between dawn and twilight), making it challenging to physically locate them. However, there are a few symptoms that could mean you have rodent activity and need assistance. These may consist of:
Mouse Debris: A single mouse can produce 50 to 60 droppings per night. These can be dispersed over a considerable area, but a significant concentration might point to a region of intense activity.
Noises: Mice, despite their diminutive size, can be heard scurrying and scratching around the house. This is typical if your infestation can be heard through the ceiling and is located in the loft. If you do hear noises, the House Mouse, who prefers warm weather, is much more likely to be the source.
Damage: Mice must constantly chew and nibble on objects in order to prevent their teeth from overgrowing. They have been observed to nibble on wood, plastics, cables, and wires since they are not particular about the materials used to accomplish this.
Smell: Mice can be identified in densely populated regions by their ammonia-like odour. However, this is comparable to rats, and a Farnborough Pest Control professional can assist in determining precisely what pest you have.
Problems associated with Mice
Leptospriosis: In its mildest form, this illness, which is brought on by the bacteria leptospira, can produce flu-like symptoms. Humans can contract it through contaminated food, drink, or soil. It is crucial to emphasise that mice cannot spread Weil’s sickness, the more dangerous variant of this illness.
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV): can cause aspectic meningitis, encephalitis, or meningoencephalitis. Any exposure to mouse saliva, droppings, or urine could cause you to get this disease. Women who are expecting are most prone to contracting this.
Salmonella: a disease that is frequently carried by mice and can be contracted by people and any household pet by contact with faeces, contaminated food, or contaminated surfaces. Humans may develop gastroenteritis as a result of this, and pets may also die as a result.
Musophobia: Some people experience intense repulsion whenever they see a mouse in their house, place of business, or place of employment. Even sadness, stress, and other anxiety disorders may result from this.
How to get rid of Mice?
If you have a rodent infestation, quick treatment is crucial. Due to the three week gestation period, even the tiniest mouse issue could quickly become into a significant one, increasing the risk of your health as well as the overall cost of treatment. Farnborough Pest Control can help assit.
