Mouse - Facts and Pest Control

The unending gossip, story or topic about mice. Inside the house, farm and in every different country around the world, they are there. It is true that these creatures’ population dominate many places because of their ability to quickly multiply in numbers. 

The mouse is “thief” – the meaning of its Greek word. They are always caught in the act to destroy anything inside the house like papers, important documents, messing in the kitchen utensils and especially the food. 

This is not the end of the story, the most important thing to know is that they carry different kinds of diseases that can lead to death. 

It is said that there are 35 types of disease that it carries, so proper hygiene is necessary, by keeping the house clean to prevent them to dwell inside it. All the diseases that they carry is not a joke, they are all true and most of it is deadly. 

There is a proverb that says, “Prevention is better than cure”, if you can prevent the disease when it's early, do it and do not allow to plague your body that will lead to unwanted consequences.

Mice radically ruin our homes, they do not put anything into an exception, all the things that they want to destroy, they will destroy. 

How are we going to deal with this kind of creatures? You do not need a lawyer to file charges against pests which seems impossible unless they become human. 

We do not need to have a degree or call pest control at all times to solve the infestation because it is expensive and it is not logical to call pest control to eliminate 2 – 7 pieces of mice in your house which you can do the job by yourself but if it's not the case then business services like pest control is your best option.

There are different kinds of mouse trap in the market. One example is the glue trap. 

This is a disposable type unlike others which are not, not the disposable type which is made of plastic, that can trap mice mechanically while other are electrical, traps that use high voltage electric shock. 

You can also make your own homemade trap, to those who are the hobbyist and want to know much homemade something and to save money. 

I’m going to tell my brief story about trapping mice inside our house. I am using the glue trap, like what I have said earlier.

For a very long time, we were with the mice in our home. The degree of damage is so intense wherein I always think of a plan of how can I get rid of them because my anger tells me to do so which is inclined with reason on how they plague us. 

Our house is small which gives me a big chance to eliminate those crawling pests by myself only. 

There are times that I exterminated them all, as in 0 in the count, from baby to adult and from skinny to furry adults. I’ve realized that they will come back again and again if you do not clean your house or your place every day because they want to dwell in places which are dirty and messy. 

One other thing that gives me a problem is the migrating mice, from our neighbor going to our house. I can’t believe what I saw that there is an instance wherein mouse stuck on walls like Spiderman. 

Sticking on the walls and going down until they reach the floor. There are times that I laugh at them and it is so funny when you see a mouse sticking on the wall then when you surprised them by clapping your hands they will definitely fall and bounce like a ball. 

The same as when I saw a mouse ascending and descending on the ladder then it jumps and falls when surprised! What a funny story of mine!

I always make an action to prevent them to get inside our house. My experience taught me so many things on how to deal with it.

So my advice to you would be this:

1. Ensure that you always clean and organize things inside your house every day

Mice naturally live in a place which is dirty and messy. They want a place full of scraps as well as paper wherein they build their nest and nurse their young. 

Unorganized things inside the house as their hiding place. If your house is clean and well- organized then mice will possibly doubt to dwell in or not.

2. There must no exposed food anywhere in your house for a long period of time

Mice can live without food and water for a long period of time. They are creatures that can withstand harsh conditions. 

But on the other hand, they crave for food. If you have a pet mouse and feed it, you will see that it consume large amount food, keeping it in their cheeks. 

They find food to nourish themselves and the whole family for the continuance of their race.

3. Cover the holes or tunnels with metal screen

to be sure that it can withstand the sharp teeth of mice

Mice want holes and tunnels. They want a hiding place on which they are comfortable of. 

You must know that if there are holes and tunnels in your house which are a possible entry and exit, do not hesitate to block it or put a ready trap.

4. Use a trash can with closed lid

You must always keep the trash can lid closed. The reason for this is that mice conduct their feast here because of mixed garbage especially the leftover tasty food from fast foods which is their apple of the eye. 

I discerned that if they are sustained by food, there is also a sustained life and a sustained pest attack.

5. Set up a mouse trap if you are convinced that there are already mice inside your house cause they can quickly multiply so you also must quickly eliminate them also

If you really have no choice because of the infestation, all you need is to do an offense against them. 

Put mouse trap on strategical locations like holes in your house, kitchen (favorite place), edges on where they pass through, and all the places you know where they appear consistently.
