In Quebec, the most common mouse species is the grey mouse. It is characterized by a rather pointed muzzle, thin legs and small rounded ears. Its tail usually measures 10 cm and the length of its body can also reach 10 cm. The mouse is a social rodent that lives in a stable family group that can vary in size. A group can consist of up to 10 individuals including 4 to 7 active adults. From the age of 6 to 9 weeks, mice can reproduce and give birth to a high number of pups 6 to 8 times a year. A mouse reproduces at a very fast rate! This is why it is important to use mouse exterminators to avoid an infestation of these rodents in your home.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The mouse prefers to move at night to go in search of food. It is omnivorous and feeds mainly on seeds, nuts and fruits. She also has a penchant for any high-fat food like butter, cheese or bacon. This rodent has an excellent sense of smell which easily guides it to potential food sources. In general, it establishes its nest in places where it feels safe such as attics, ventilation ducts or inside cupboards and drawers. Most of the time, mice enter homes between October and February to protect themselves from the cold and to find the food they need to survive.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The need to gnaw the mouse comes from a very special dental peculiarity. Indeed, her teeth grow constantly, throughout her life, which is why she must wear them to keep them at a comfortable size. It can therefore eat away at various elements such as electrical wires, books, cardboard, plastic, woodwork and even insulation materials. This mania, although necessary for the animal, can cause a fire or even a flood! This is why the work of our mouse exterminators remains of great importance since they ensure your safety and allow you to avoid major damage.
Mice are also known to soil buildings. The smell of their dried feces and urine spreads easily and light particles can be dispersed in the air, which can be enough to contaminate a person. It should not be forgotten that they also attack your food reserves and contaminate them at the same time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These harmful rodents tend to carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans through many sources of contamination. Food or water contaminated by urine or droppings, a bite or indirect contamination by your pet, remain possible sources of infection. If you ingest food previously soiled by a mouse, you could develop symptoms of salmonellosis, a bacterial disease. It is one of the leading causes of foodborne infection recognized in Canada.
Water or food infected with mouse urine can also transmit Leptospira bacteria, also known as Weil’s disease, to you. Hantavirus is a viral disease spread by a particular species of mouse, the deer mouse. In this case, contamination occurs through contact with saliva, urine, feces or even inhalation of infected spores in suspension. This virus usually causes fever, muscle aches, chills or headache. A serious lung problem can also be developed. Finally, these rodents are hosts to different parasites, which represents a high health risk in humans.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Slight scratching sounds are heard above your head in the morning and evening? This sign is an excellent indicator that mice are unfortunately walking around the walls or attic of your home. Do you also find gnawed objects like electrical cables or tooth marks on the corners of your furniture? This is a clue to the presence of mice as well as paw tracks in dustier places such as the attic. If you notice paw prints in a specific location, clean the surface and sprinkle it with flour or talcum powder. New traces appeared in the morning? So you have pretty strong evidence that you’re struggling with a mouse infestation. Moreover, observing a live or even dead mouse as well as scattered feces in a few places is rather irrefutable proof of a mouse infestation problem.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
