Mice may seem to be nothing more than small, unassuming creatures. However, these tiny critters can become a big nuisance if they’re left to nest in your Polk County home or business. In fact, a few mice can quickly turn into an infestation due to their ability to reproduce rapidly. The sooner you recognize the signs of a mice infestation and contact the mice removal professionals at Critter Control® of Polk County, the easier it is to deal with them.
3 Ways Mice Can Affect Your Polk County Property
Although small, mice can cause a lot of damage. Here are a few ways these rodents can bring harm to you and your Polk County property.
- Property damage – Mice love to chew, leaving holes in walls, molding, wires, wooden beams, and drywall. Foul smells and dark stains on walls and floorboards can also be caused by mice droppings.
- Health risks – If mice make their way into your pantry or pipes, they can contaminate your food and water supply with their droppings.
- Spread of disease – Mice carry several viruses, including hantavirus, salmonella, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis. Such diseases can be spread through bites, the parasites they carry, and the contamination they leave through their droppings or by walking on countertops.
