Got a problem with mice in your home?

Presence of rodents in the residential environment is a health hazard to yourself, your loved ones, your visitors and your household pets.

Mice which are cousins of rats is one example of a pesky pest that could disturb your household. Their main source of food is rubbish or when they could enter your house can also feed on your food supply. They thrive in moist and dark areas such as drainage, sewers and unsanitary places where they can easily pick up germs they can bring in where they may go.

Rats and mice can also pass disease-causing germs to individuals by depositing infected urine or feces throughout a premises on flat surfaces, fabrics and carpets, or by biting humans and household pets.

In addition to being a disease-carrier, rats and mice can also bring huge damage to furniture, doorways, skirtings, upholstery, books, packaging and meals, and are regarded to cause house fires after chewing through electric cables.

Though they may seem like rats, mice are a little smaller from their cousin. In fact, in Australia, the presence of rats and mice is a massive problem. There are also a number of introduced rodents and few species of mice are considered a pest in the home, environmental and agricultural communities.

House mice are covered in short hair that’s either light brown or grey to black colour. They can gain entry to houses or some other building through cracks and holes which are small as a dime. They seek indoor protection against harsh weather and ferocious animals.

House mice or mus domesticus are active all year round, so you might find them invading your home or company at any time. Its habits usually include floor living and burrowing, but often climbs. It will eat around three (3) grams of food a day and can survive with no additional water. They’ll consume up to three (3) ml a day when their diet is very dry.

How to keep mice under control in your home

There are many approaches to help monitor mice in your home or business units. Here is a couple:

• Food protection – be careful not to attract mice with meals. Meals must be stored in steel or plastic containers. Regularly wash under stoves, refrigerators and cabinets.
• Doors – fit bristle (or brush) strips to the base of doors to save you access, especially in older houses wherein the door match might not be snug
• Holes – these are often made in outside walls for pipes and cables; take a look at that old pipework holes and ensure they’re sealed too
• Air bricks and vents – cover those with fine galvanised wire mesh especially if they’re damaged
• Eaves – repair damaged material and use wire work to seal holes
• .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 shelter and potential nesting sites

Detecting Mice Problems

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

• Urine – the smell of their dark coloured urine could be nasty. If you find one and may be surrounded by their droppings, DO NOT try to clean it without so much as wearing protective gear such as masks, gloves and long sleeved clothing.
