Why Rats and Mice Find your Home Attractive & Want to Get in?

1. Why Rats and Mice Find your Home Attractive & Want to Get in? There are no other pests than mice to cause panic among family members with their scooting around in your territory. Pests like bugs, centipedes, spiders, ants, and moths are comparatively safer pests to have around home because their movements are inconspicuous and whatever they do, do without being noticed hence you don’t notice their existence much. But with rodents like mice and rats it is open and easy to spot when they run in to your household spaces with their dirty feet and parasite infested bodies. Mice and rats love your home because you provide them with three vital items for their survival namely warm & cozy shelter, never depleting food stuff, and protection from their predators. These three things are guaranteed for them once they enter your home and it is only you who will be at the receiving end due of their occupation. Mice are no good to have at home so call BBPP, most efficient pest control service Vaughan, to get rid of them without creating a fuss. Prevention is better than cure This is an old proverb which is universal and applicable to all situations in our life. You can apply this proverb to mice occupations and effectively prevent them from coming into your house. It is always a better idea to fortify your house with barriers than letting mice in and then exterminating them, which could become messier if you do it on your own. Let us discuss some mice prevention procedures that can stop them entering your house in the first place thus spare you the blues that could suffer from later. How they get in? Mice come in to your house to get food, water, shelter and protection from adversaries and they use tiny holes, narrow gaps, wall voids and crevices to accomplish it. Mouse bodies are soft and flexible and they can also collapse their skeletal structure to fit in to holes when situation warrants. Even the smallest holes the size of a dime won’t stop them. Another thing with mice is that they are extremely quick and alarmingly agile to evade detection. Only way you can stop them from entering your house is to close those entry points with materials like steel mesh, steel wool ball, caulk, cement or strong adhesion. Mice won’t be able to nibble through them and will simply go away some other place. This is the most effective way of stopping rodents but only it will be an uphill task for you because a house is a huge sprawling structure built with complex design. Conduct periodical inspection Regular inspection of basement, crawl spaces, foundations, barns and walls will reveal the chinks and you can effectively close them with the above said materials. This is the first line of defense against a mice invasion. If you do this correctly, you are unlikely to be bothered by the pests. However, mice are highly resourceful and are uncannily clever and will always find some ways to enter your home. They will target your roof and will climb drain pipes and trees close by your structure to land. From there it will be easy for them. You should cut off the branches that are close to your structure and also pipe entry points with cement, caulk and other similar materials.

2. Remove food & water Mice generally come from nearby fields, forests, thickets and bushes and they head towards human homes when things outside get difficult. When the ground is frozen and food is in scarcity rodents find no other way but to get inside human homes to get them. Another thing why they prefer home is protection they get against hunters from both sky and ground. If you effectively make it impossible for them to get food and water, it is a certainty that they will abort their attempt and move away to another place. However, removing food and water from your yard, barn or garden can be a bit difficult. Nevertheless, you have to do this if you want mice to migrate to some other place. Remove water from birdfeed, tanks, buckets, and also avoid puddles from forming on the grass or garden. Mice need water many times a day because they eat at least 20-22 times a day and without water they won’t be able to quench their thirst.
