Mice don’t hibernate during the winter.Instead, they have to find sources of food,
shelter and heat to survive.
This is exactly why most homeownersexperience serious mice infestation
problems during colder months.
INFESTATION
Mice have a gestation (pregnancy) period ofjust 21 days, and they can give birth up to ninetimes each year.
So in as little as 90 days, you could very easilywind up with hundreds of mice roaming aroundinside your home.
These can then spread to your family throughaccidental contact with mice urine,saliva, feces, or simply removing a dead mousefrom your home.
Most people think that mice are relativelyharmless, but they can pose a serious healthrisk for you, your family, and other pets.
HEALTH RISKS
If mice get access to your food, this can lead tothe food being spoiled and disposed of, ifyou’re lucky.
Eating food items tainted by mouse waste canlead to food poisoning and even respiratoryproblems in the most serious cases.
PROPERTY DAMAGE
Mice have sharp teeth that can quickly chewthrough books, clothing, furniture, and evenelectrical cables.
Using a variety of humane traps can help youcapture mice, but once they’re released, they’lloften find their way back into your home.
A catch-and-release system won’t help youresolve a mice infestation. Trust in the OnSwatteam to come to the rescue.
