A Mice exterminator will do the job!The most common pest Edmonton pest control experts have to deal with on a daily basis is the mouse. When it comes to pest control in Edmonton just like with every other city in Canada but in the world mice and rodents in general are the most common one. Before we examine what there is you can do about getting rid of mice from your home it is important to understand the house mouse.
The house mouse is common in all parts of Canada including Edmonton Ontario. In general the house mouse is dusty grey in colour and measures from 10 to 15 cm in length with large ears and small eyes. In most cases the mouse tail has the same length as the mouse. The house mouse has a keen sense of touch, smell, and hearing. They can run, climb, jump and swim very well.
Mice live in houses with humans because they can feed off the same food we do but they feed on several occasions in a day. The biggest contributing factor for a mouse infestation is making food available to them. In most cases, mice are attracted to households that have food sources available.
Edmonton especially the downtown of the city is very prone to mice. The reason is primarily attributed to the existence of many relatively old households. Mice will exist everywhere but they will be attracted by the food source.
In order to prevent a mouse infestation and attracting mice the best thing a pest control Edmonton expert and any other expert will advise first is to eliminate the food sources. This can be achieved by keeping a clean kitchen and keeping all the food sources for the mouse out of bound.
Mice can cause damage to your home and in every place that food is stored in your home. What usually happens is that they don’t cause damage in one place but make small holes in many places. Mouse control is something you need to leave to the experts.
In addition to damage to your Edmonton home, mice can cause health problems. Mice contaminate food with their droppings and their urine. They also are carriers of many bacteria that cause disease.
Mice will visit a home when the weather gets colder and it is harder for them to survive outside. You will know you have a mouse problem when you hear or see them at night because that is when they come outside to feed. The average lifespan of a mouse is 12 months. The young are born about 19 days after breeding and mature very rapidly. That is why a mouse problem can go out of hand really fast.
Mouse proof construction includes sealing any openings larger than one fourth of an inch. Steel wool mixed with caulking compound makes a good plug. Mouse experts have known for a while that the cutest members of the rodent family emit ultrasonic sounds, but nobody really bothered to listen to them very closely.

Characteristics

While mice are omnivorous their survival is primarily reliant on human settlement. Female mice can give birth to litters of 3 to 14 young at a time and up to 10 times a year. As a result mouse populations can grow rapidly if not controlled. Mice are active all year round, with more activity observed indoors during the colder months of the year.
Problems
House mice can cause damage to property, damage to stored food and most importantly be the cause of disease transmission. They are known to carry and transmit Leptospirosis, Murine typhus, Tularemia and bacterial infestions such as Rickettsialpox.
Mouse Control

Control of the existing population can be achieved through the use of glue or snap traps, or by using baits placed in tamper resistant containers.
