If I See One Mouse In My Home, Does That Mean More?
Typically if you see one mouse around your home, there are most likely more house mice hiding out of sight. Of the many different types of house mice that can get inside your home, most will nest and multiply quickly. Look for these signs of mice around your home:
- Droppings
- Grease rubs
- Tracks
- Damaged good
- Scratching sounds
You might also start to smell urine or your pets might start acting funny, barking, and frantic. Of course, if you see an actual mouse that too can be a dead giveaway that you have an infestation on your hands.
Can Mice Make You Sick Without Touching Them?
Yes, the very presence of mice in your home can make you ill without the need to physically touch them. Mice can squeeze their way in and out of the smallest cracks, so in essence, they can get into anything around your home. This leads to contamination, which in turn can make you sick. Here are just a few diseases that mice are known to carry:
- Hantavirus
- Salmonella
- Lyme disease
- Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis
While these are just a few of the heavy-hitting diseases that mice can carry, you should be aware of other ways they can harm you. A bite, whether it’s inflicting you with one of these illnesses, can cause you to get a fever. If your food has been contaminated, that can also leave you falling ill.
What Happens If My Cat Catches A Mouse?
If you note mice signs or find your cat with a dead mouse, you should contact our team immediately. If you don’t know what killed the mouse, and there’s a chance your cat didn’t, that could mean that other pests are infesting your home.
Rats and mice are not friends, as you might believe, and often, mice can open the door for rats to infest as well. However, they are very territorial and will kill the mice to take over the home. You also shouldn’t handle or be around dead rodents of any kind without proper safety gear as it is a significant health risk.
