Mice Control in Vaughan

The city of Vaughan has it's share of mice control problems. While rural mice live most of their lives outdoors, city mice live in buildings.  You can find them living under refrigerators, in drawers, in furniture, walls, and in the ceiling.  

While getting rid of mice on your own may seem like a good idea, it's not as easy as it looks.  Let's face it, the common house mouse, with its' tiny ears and whiskers is pretty cute and the act of setting and then emptying a mouse trap is not for everyone. Also, when you catch a mouse, odds are that it's not the only one living in your nice warm home, so the trapping process needs to be repeated many times.  That's one of the reasons why most people use a pest control service, such as GTA Toronto Pest Control - Vaughan. 

Mouse Droppings and Other Signs of Mice

While mice droppings are a sure way to tell if you have mice, here are a few other signs:

• gnawed plastic in furniture
• holes in mattresses or furniture
• a musty odor
• tiny piles of food under furnishings
• actual mouse sightings

Ways to Prevent a Mouse Infestation

​For effective mice control, you may want to try any of the following control methods;
 
Sealing all points of entry
One of the simplest methods of controlling mice is to find any probable entry point which mice use in entering the building and sealing it off. This entry point may be a gap in the door, window or through the ceiling. You should also inspect the building for cracks in any area. When sealing  these gaps and cracks,  use materials which the mice cannot bite through to get in.
 
Cleaning the area properly
If a mice infestation is suspected, food must never be left out. You should make sure that you properly clean all tables and sinks and store food items tightly closed containers. You should look for a better means to dispose of your refuse. Using a refuse bin which is made of metal can be effective for mice control.
 
Using traps
A mouse trap can work best if you have identified the area where the mice usually come from. You can also use it to find areas where mice are more active. There are more humane traps available, such as cages, sound machines or sticky paper, however, these methods do not work as well as the traditional mouse trap.  Remember in setting any kind of mouse trap that it must be kept away from children and other pets.   You will also need to use bait such as cheese or peanut butter in the trap to attract the mice.  

​Using cats
While cats are great pets, they can also be used for mice control. Cats can be a major threat to mice as they love hunting for the these scurrying creatures. Having a cat can help reduce the population of mice rapidly.  Bare in mind that the process is not pretty, and can be very traumatizing.
 
Using poison baits
Poison bait comes in the form of food or pellets.  This mouse control method can work pretty well. The only problem is that after eating the bait, the mice will scurry off someplace else and die. The dead body then decays and begins to give off a foul smell.
