Mice Removal
Mice Removal
Overview
Smaller than rats mice are known for squeezing into the tiniest of gaps. Mice seldom travel far for food or water, their limited range and food-gathering behaviour, which differs from rats, make mice difficult to control in many situations. Sealing up the perimeter of the entire structure is the only solution to prevent future re-entry.
Living in an environment with rodents like rats and mice can pose a serious threat to our health. These creatures can spread diseases such as salmonella, leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, and hantavirus. Additionally, they can contaminate food and surfaces with their faeces and urine, potentially leading to bacterial infections. It’s important to take steps to control and eliminate rat and mouse infestations to safeguard human health and prevent the spread of these diseases.
