Mouse Pest Control
Mice were introduced to Australia by the first European settlers and they have been a problem ever since.
They can multiply quickly and will do significant damage to your home, business and furniture through their gnawing activities. They will also contaminate food and other materials through the droppings they leave behind. Their droppings have even been implicated as potential asthma triggers in children not only are mice destructive they have also been known to cause house fires after chewing through electrical cables. The best way to prevent problems with mice in your home or business is to deny them access inside.
If they do manage to gain entry indoors, it is important to discourage their presence by denying mice easy access to food and water. Mice usually live on the ground and nest in burrows when outdoors. Indoors they will make nests in almost any place that is undisturbed, such as furniture, boxes, under floorboards, in attics. They will shred material such as paper to use for nesting material. They are agile and can climb to search for places to shelter .Your home or business could provide an ideal location for food and shelter for the common House mouse.
Once inside your property, mice prefer to keep hidden during the day. Identifying a potential infestation through signs of activity is often a lot easier than trying to spot an actual mouse.
Getting professional treatment at the earliest sign of a problem can greatly help to reduce the length of time needed to effectively control an infestation.
House mice are active all year round, which means you could find them invading your home or business at any time.
