Tips To Protect Yourself

In addition to the extensive selection of Pest, Insect, and Rodent control products Woodstock Hardware can also provide you the technical expertise required to help you make sure you will successfully protect your space from the challenges presented by Mother Nature.    

Here are a few interesting facts surrounding mice. And whether you think mice are terrifying, or cute, we are sure you will find these facts both fascinating and possibly cause for alarm. 

  • Mice Harbor Disease. According to a CDC medical report, rodents around the globe could harbor more than 30 diseases harmful to humans, including the Bubonic plague, the Hanta Virus and Typhus. They live and walk about freely through garbage, fecal matter and urine, so they’re prone to carrying viruses and bacteria that can make us sick. 
  • Mice Love Human Habitats. We have so much to offer: food, water, shelter, safety and even a place to raise their young. Between our walls, in the attic and underneath floors with crawl spaces — mice thrive in human habitats.  
  • Mice Will Find Their Way in Through A Tiny Gap or Crack. Crawl space vents, roof holes, pet doors and even gaps between your wall and floors confirm the facts about mice and rats: they’ll come in and set up house any place they’re comfortable. Mice contain collapsible cartilage which means they can easily flatten out. Rats require about half an inch to squeeze through, while mice only need a quarter of an inch. 
  • Mice Like To Gnaw. Mice have big incisors that grow very quickly and they like to gnaw on wood support beams behind your walls, sub floors underneath your carpet and hardwoods and even electrical wiring. 

 

And if that is not enough consider this. In just one month’s time mice can produce thousands of fecal pellets and deposit urine in areas where we eat and sleep. Their feces and urine may contain millions of bacteria or viruses and easily contaminate more than what they eat or with what they come in contact. The damage these rodents do to food and buildings runs in the tens of billions of dollars world-wide.
