Helpful Tips On Mouse Control

In a recent press release the National Pest Management Association noted that approximately 21 million homes in the US are invaded by rodents every winter. Mice, rats and voles are likely to invade homes as they search for relief from the cold weather, and while they may seem harmless, rodents are known to cause serious structural damage as well as chew through electrical wiring which can result in a potential fire hazard. Mice and rats also pose health risks as they can contaminate food leading to the transmissions of diseases like Salmonella and Hantavirus.
At EnviroPest we realize how serious a problem rodents can be for homeowners in Denver and throughout Colorado and suggest a proactive approach to deter against winter invaders. Below are some tips for discouraging mice and other rodents from infesting your home.
- Fill or seal cracks, crevices and holes in and around your home
- Trim back trees and shrubbery around your home’s exterior
- Create a deterrent around your foundation with crushed rock as mice do not like uneven terrain
- Properly store human and pet food in sealed containers
If you’ve already noticed signs of mice infestations like chew marks or droppings then preventative measures are not enough. Contact EnviroPest for help in resolving your pest problems. It’s the season for wintertime pests but you don’t have to let them become a nuisance in your home. For Denver Mouse Control call 1-888-681-9440 or click here.
