Causes of Mice
Infestations
Understanding the elements that lead to mouse
infestations is critical for avoiding and
treating the problem. Let's look into some
typical causes Food Sources Mice are drawn to
easily accessible food sources. Leaving food out
in the open, storing food poorly, or leaving
crumbs on surfaces can all attract these
pests. Shelter Mice seek safety in warm,
isolated areas. Cracks in the walls, holes in
doors or windows, and messy, unoccupied parts of
your home can all provide a secure habitat for
them. Water Sources Mice, like all living
animals, require water to exist. Leaky pipes,
stagnant water, and even humidity can all attract
them into your living environment. Neighboring
Infestations If your neighbors have mouse
infestations, it is more likely that they will
transfer to your house. Seasonal Factors Mice
frequently seek safety indoors during the cooler
months, making fall and winter the peak seasons
for infestations.

Risks Associated with Mice Infestations
Disease Transmission
Mice are recognized carriers of a number of
illnesses, including hantavirus, salmonellosis,
and the potentially deadly Lyme disease. Their
droppings, urine, and saliva can pollute your
home and food, putting your health at danger.
Property Damage
Mice's sharp teeth allow them to gnaw on almost
anything, including electrical lines, insulation,
and wooden buildings. This can result in costly
repairs and fire dangers.
Allergens
Mice allergens can cause allergic responses in
certain people, resulting in sneezing, coughing,
and itching eyes.
