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.  A  female  mouse  is  able  to  produce  between  5  and  10  litters  of  up  to  14  babies  per  year.

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.    

 

Getting  rid  of  mice  by  using  effective  mouse  pest  control  is  essential,  as  you  can  see  from  the  above.  Watch  our  video  about  how  to  get  rid  of  mice  UK  for  a  visual  presentation  of  this  material.
