Mice in cars and garages aren’t new
According to the specialist of experts in pest control “Dezinfa”, during the winter holidays, the number of complaints about rodents increases every year. Rodents are attracted to our home not only because of the heat, but also because of the food, which we produce more abundantly during the festive period. Mice and rats have a great sense of smell, so the aromas that emanate from kitchens and reckless food scraps made them very attractive. Still, to say that rodents mostly raid homes would be a mistake, the press release said.
“We get a wide range of rodent-related inquiries from the population. Residents of apartment buildings most often complain about mice and rats in basements and warehouses, which become wintering habitats, and private owners generally report that rodents “enrage” attics. Lately we have received many calls related to rodents in garages. For example, through leaky doors, mice first entered the garage, did not stay here, and eventually , spread to homes. Another resident complained that mice had settled into the car – neither hobbyist traps nor sticky devices would help, fearing the car wouldn’t be completely destroyed. We received many invitations similar, that is why we are happy that the neighbors entrust the extermination of pests in the hands of professionals ”, Ž. Žalnerauskas.
Who betrays rodents?
According to the expert, mice and rats are very often installed between walls, shelter panels, ceilings, under outdoor terraces, floors. As these rodents’ teeth grow throughout their lives, they can easily drill holes in walls and partitions, thus reaching where there is food and it is possible to overwinter warmly. Mice and rats are betrayed by reptiles, the strong smell of urine and feces, holes and severed wires.
“Because quarantine is necessary, people spend more time at home, so pests are noticed faster. We recently consulted neighbors who complained about the annoying noises that rodents make on the walls. It turned out that mice they got inside the construction of the wooden house after breaking the openings of the outside terrace ”, says the expert.
How to avoid rodents during the Christmas season?
Did you know that a mature mouse can give birth to up to 100 young a year? And that mice and rats transmit diseases that are dangerous to humans and animals, such as salmonellosis, leptospirosis, tularemia, yersiniosis, etc.? It is also true that rats also transmit fleas, ticks that can transmit infectious agents.
These facts are alarming, which is why the pest control specialist Ž. Žalnerauskas advises staying vigilant even during winter holidays and taking basic preventive measures to protect the home from rodent invasion.
· It is necessary to maintain cleanliness, proper disposal of food waste, regular disposal of garbage so that easily accessible food does not attract rodents.
· It is advisable to avoid edible decorations on Christmas trees, as the excellent “climbing” mice can easily reach cookies or even candy hanging from a fir branch.
· Protect the electrical cables of the decorations and garlands so that rodents cannot scratch them. This is especially important because we don’t want the mice to “taste” them and start a fire.
· Even gift wrapping materials are a suitable building material for mouse nests, so it is recommended to dispose of their remains, and items that still need to be used should be packed safely for the next year.
