The better able we can understand this pest, the better prepared homeowners are to remain protected from mouse infestations and the dangers that come with them. To help you learn more about mice, we've answered some commonly asked questions about them.
Some Common Questions Answered
You likely know that mice are dangerous to homeowners, thanks to the number of diseases they transmit and carry, and they reproduce at an alarming rate, which can cause a small infestation to spiral quickly out of control. But that's just the beginning of what you should know about this pest. Here are some common questions people ask about mice:
-
Can they climb? They sure can! They can certainly climb and more importantly, they can jump. Mice have been known to jump up to a foot in height and are able to climb more than a foot up a smooth vertical wall.
-
How's their vision? In truth, their vision is terrible, and they can't see in the dark. However, their other senses are highly developed to compensate for their vision problems.
-
What attracts mice inside? There are many factors that attract mice to homes; some common attractants include warmth, access to food, access to water, and places to hide.
-
How do I keep them out? You can do this by addressing the factors that attract them inside. They want to get warm? Block the entry points. Do you have standing water available? Remove the water and watch the mice decide not to stick around. Ultimately, your efforts will be rewarding as long as you remain consistent in your approach.
-
I saw a mouse. Does that mean I have an infestation? In most cases, yes, this means you have an infestation at hand. Keep in mind, mice reproduce rapidly and they're experts at hiding, so if you've seen one, there are almost certainly more you can't see.
-
How do I get rid of mice? Prevention is much easier than reaction when it comes to mice. If you have a mouse infestation in progress, then the best thing to do is contact a professional pest control company to remove them from the premises.
