Removing mice and rats from your home can often be difficult. The recommended first step in mouse removal is trapping. This works well for field mice and rats, but can be less effective for other species of mice and rats. Mouse exclusion is the most successful form of mice control. Restricting access to your home in the first place is always best solution for long term relief from rat problems. Mice are excellent climbers and can squeeze through a hole only a ΒΌ in size which makes permanent exclusion a difficult task. Modifying their surroundings is also a key component in mouse control. Start by removing food sources, such as pet foods and human food scraps. Also, small hiding places should be eliminated.
Some interesting information about Mice and Rats:
A mouse (plural mice) is a small mammal belonging to the rodent family. The best known mouse species is the common house mouse which can also be popular pet. The American white-footed mouse and the deer mouse will occasionally live in houses. In some places, certain kinds of field mice are also common. This rodent is eaten by large birds such as eagles and hawks. They are known to invade homes for food and shelter.
Although mice can live up to two and a half years in captivity, the average mouse in the wild lives for only about 4 months, primarily because of heavy predation. Cats, dogs, foxes, birds of prey, snakes and even certain kinds of arthropods have been known to prey upon mice. Nevertheless, because of its adaptability to almost any environment, and its ability to live with humans, the mouse is regarded to be one of the most successful mammals living on Earth today.
Mice can sometimes be harmful rodents, eating or damaging crops, causing structural damages and spreading disease through parasites. In North America, breathing dust that has come in contact with mouse excrement has been linked to hantavirus, which may lead to Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS).
Primarily nocturnal animals, mice compensate for their poor eyesight with a very, very keen sense of hearing and rely on their sense of smell to locate food and avoid predators. The original motivation for the domestication of cats is thought to have been for their ability to hunt mice and their relatives, the rats.
Mice will live in your attic, walls, basements, and in any almost any living space available. They can keep you up at night with their noise. Mice make their homes inside your home or building and will breed and cause damage year round. A female mouse can live to 1 year and can produce over 70 offspring during her lifespan.
