We live in the age of do-it-yourself. Through the power of the internet, we can instantly get information on how to do pretty much anything. But some DIY projects are harder than others. Mice control is one of them. There are many reasons for this. Here are a few of them.
No matter what trap you choose, you're going to have a hard time catching mice with it. Those little rodents don't make it easy for you to catch them. Some common mistakes people make are:
If you use the right trap, apply the right bait, and deploy the traps correctly, you could catch mice. But this takes a lot of work and you won't know for sure when your home is free of mice. You can't assume that you have no more mice because you're not catching any more mice. There are many factors that can lead to your mouse traps ceasing to catch mice.
Are you thinking of getting a cat to solve your mouse problems? You should know that not every cat likes to catch and kill mice. Some will just play with mice. Others just watch mice without doing anything at all. If you are fortunate to get a cat that is a mouser, keep in mind that mice live in your walls and can travel in locations your cat can't get into. It is easy for a mouse to go into your pantry and back into your walls without ever exposing itself to open areas.
If you catch some mice and don't address the entry points they're using to get into your home, you're going to continue to have trouble. This is an important part of mouse control that many homeowners neglect to do or that they do improperly.
When you fail to control mice in your home, you're not just wasting time and money for results you're unhappy with. The repercussions of unsuccessful mouse control can be severe. Mice spread bacteria and diseases. They chew holes in your home and in the belongings inside your home. They contaminate the areas they sleep, the routes they travel, and the foods they get into. Worse than all this, they don't come into your home alone; they bring parasites in with them, creatures such as fleas, ticks, lice and mites. If your mouse control is unsuccessful, you, and everyone living in your home, will continue to be exposed to these and other mouse-related threats. The best solution for dealing with a mouse infestation is to contact a licensed and certified pest-management professional.
