Mice are secretive critters. There are several reasons for this: They are mostly nocturnal and they spend their time searching for food while most of us are asleep. They travel through the voids of our homes where we can't see them. They are very small and easily missed as they scurry away into a dark recess. And the saying, "quiet as a mouse," hardly manages to describe how stealthy these critters really are. The problems they cause are also stealthy. That is what we're going to look at today.
The dark has a way of hiding things and darkness doesn't only happen at night. You have many spots in your house that are dark. In these places, you'll find some of the problem mice cause:
Mice prefer to travel through your home by way of your wall voids. It makes them feel safe. In your voids, they don't have to worry about birds sweeping down to snatch them up and eat them. But, while they're in there, they can cause some problems:
The small size of a mouse can work to its advantage when it wants to avoid detection but imagine an organism so small that you can't even see it. Here are some problems that you won't see, even if you're looking directly at them.
This should be a saying. Mice can't compete with parasites when it comes to being quiet. If a mouse brings ticks, fleas, lice, mites, or parasitic worms into your home, you're not going to hear them, but you'll know you have them.
When mice get into Maryland homes, they can cause many unseen problems, but just because you can't see the problems they're causing doesn't mean those problems won't affect you. Mice spread illness, damage building materials, create holes for pests to use to get into your home, make pathways for rainwater to cause damage, damage your belongings, and more. Keep those mice out with a residential pest control program that includes state-of-the-art rodent surveillance and removal, like Preferred Care pest control from American Pest. With Preferred Care, you'll have ongoing exterior rodent prevention and complete coverage for over 30 common Maryland pests. Reach out to us today to get started.
