The sun is shining and the warmer weather may be turning our attention to pests like mosquitoes and stinging insects, but let’s not forget that mice can infest our homes and properties all year long. Now is the perfect time to put preventative measures in place so that you can enjoy your home and property, mouse-free, all year long.
Mice Prevention In Summer
You may have seen mice or seen the signs they leave behind throughout the wintertime. Now with the warmer weather, they will become more active and you will need to be aware of the dangers they can cause. They are carriers of diseases such as salmonella, leptospirosis, and hantavirus, just to name a few. They can also carry parasites like fleas and ticks that can cause other diseases like tapeworm or Lyme disease. Along with their potential health risks, they can also cause significant damage to a home or property.
Here are few tips to help discourage mouse activity around your home and property:
-
Remove or cut back vegetation
-
Remove or reduce water sources
-
Eliminate piles of junk, wood, and other items
-
Eliminate or contain food sources and trash
-
Contact a professional pest control company like American Pest for year-round pest control services.
