To some, mice might seem like adorable little critters that won’t do much harm in your home, but there’s a reason why homeowners seek NJ mouse control services. These small rodents can cause a number of problems. The sooner you deal with a mouse infestation, the lower your risk is of having these problems.
Health Problems
Mice carry infectious diseases that can make you and your family sick. Some of the diseases they spread include listeria and salmonellosis. Their urine and droppings can also trigger allergic reactions and even raise the risk of asthma in kids.
Fire Hazards
Mice often chew on wires inside the walls of your home as they go about making their nest and running around looking for food. This can create a fire hazard when the insulation becomes broken and frayed. Mice can also ruin other parts of your home by chewing through wall insulation and wallboards.
Food Contamination
Mice have many ways of getting into the food you keep in your cupboards and pantry. They can chew through boxes and get inside bags, making it necessary for you to throw out your food supplies. Store food in airtight containers that mice can’t get into, and keep crumbs and garbage out of your kitchen.
Don’t let these cute critters fool you into thinking they’re harmless. Contact Allison Pest Control for safe and effective NJ mouse control for your home.
