Locating Mice in Your Okanagan Property
Mice reproduce quickly and reach sexual maturity in a matter of weeks. The rate at which they mature and reproduce means that a rodent invasion starting with only one female and male mouse can explode to an infestation of hundreds within one year. Homeowners must discover such issues before they reach a critical level. There are four major signs of mice to watch for, especially in the colder months when mice are more likely to seek shelter in a house.1. Follow the Damage
Mice are not exactly subtle, especially when there are a few hundred in a property. If you want to locate the rodents, you can follow their trail of damage. Since mice are incessant gnawers, you may notice damage to the home's baseboards, furniture, and other materials. You may also find chewed electrical wires, which is problematic for several reasons, not the least of which is fire. Mice will also find their way into cupboards, chewing through cereal boxes, bread bags, and anything else that piques their interest. Even if you don't suspect a mouse problem in your house, it is a good idea to store dry goods in airtight containers to avoid attracting pests.2. Look for the Droppings
