GREAT TIPS BY IMPERIAL PEST CONTROL LONDON 8 Good Reasons Why You Should Get Rid of Mice Exactly What Sort of Problems Do Mice Cause in the UK? REASON 1: MICE CAN CONTAMINATE FOOD Food stores can easily become contaminated with droppings, fur and urine. Throwing away contaminated food wastes money, but most importantly it is a serious health risk. REASON 2: MICE CAN SPREAD DISEASES Mouse bites and droppings can carry bacteria like salmonella, and are also capable of transmitting serious viral diseases such hantavirus. Sickness contracted from mice can be potentially fatal. REASON 3: MICE CAN BREED RAPIDLY The extremely high reproduction rate of mice means that a few pests can quickly become a severe infestation.

REASON 4: MICE CAN BE A FIRE HAZARD The tendency of mice to chew through electrical wiring in the loft makes them a real potential safety risk to homeowners. Danger from fire is not to be taken lightly, so eliminating mice quickly is vital. REASON 5: MICE CAN CHEW YOUR WOOD As well as burrowing into walls and chewing holes in cupboards, mice like to get their teeth into furniture and wooden items. This is because their teeth are constantly growing and need gnawing down. REASON 6: MICE CAN CARRY PARASITES As well as being a health hazard in their own right, mice may also be carrying their own pests. Things like ticks, fleas and lice that mice carry on them can be an extra concern for the family's wellbeing. REASON 7: MICE CAN CHEW YOUR FABRICS In order to collect materials for a cosy nest, mice will bite holes in soft furnishings, pull up tufts from your carpet, and chew their way through upholstery to get to the soft padding or stuffing inside. REASON 8: MICE CAN DAMAGE STRUCTURES Mice can cause worrying structural damage to a property. Not only do they have a penchant for wooden timbers, they have been known to chew their way through pipes, plasterboard and even brickwork.
