Winter Mice In Tennessee

Winter mice are just looking for a free home where they can find food, water, and shelter. Your home is the perfect place for these cute little pests to get what they need to survive. Now let’s just talk about how cute these mice are. They are small and have pointed pink noses, beady little eyes, that long pink tail, and they carry dangerous diseases to you and your family. Wait! They can make us sick? Yes, they can. They can get into the food in your pantry and leave bacteria wherever they go. You might have found their little black rice shaped droppings along walls or on food shelves or found holes in bags of food. And, what is that terrible smell coming from the attic? It could be deceased mice decaying! But really, these cute little mice can’t be that bad, and there are only a few… But, do you realize how quickly they breed? This can make it almost impossible for you to keep up with the population of an infestation! Real mice are nothing like the cute ones in cartoons and books. They can do a lot of damage, including chewing on live wires that could cause a fire and tremendous damage or loss of life in your home.

There are some ways you can try to keep mice from coming into your home:

• Inspect your home inside and out

• Seal up all entry points including small cracks and crevices

• Replace or repair old window frames and place screens on vents

• Cover gaps around pipes and wires that go in from the outside

• Keep junk, wood, and brush piles away from your home

And, here are some ways you can attempt to get rid of mice that are already in your home:

• Keep all food tightly stored in airtight containers

• Clean up spills immediately

• Use bait traps

All of these suggestions sound great, but there are so many ways a mouse can get into a home, how can you be sure all of the entry points are sealed? And let’s face it; bait traps are not safe around kids and pets, not to mention that it is nearly impossible to keep up with how quickly mice reproduce. You may trap a few, but many more are right behind them.
