Before resorting to extermination or control methods, it is necessary to correctly identify your pest population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether the noises inside the walls may be the result of a mouse infestation; however, insects and even the building itself can make similar noises and will require different solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All food preservation sites are goals to be achieved and possible entry points into the home must be identified and eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human food sources must be stored in metal or glass containers with airtight lids. The bins should also be resilient and sealed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Countertops, sinks and kitchen floors must be kept clean and all possible entry points must be sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cracks, holes and crevices must be sealed with steel or concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open areas around pipes, gas lines and dryer vents must also be sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holes as small as pencil erasers can allow access and should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Home extermination techniques vary from traps to bait.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traps:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Ratchet traps can be dangerous for humans and pets if not placed properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glue traps are also used to trap mice, but they must be placed correctly to be effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traps that keep rodents alive force owners to get rid of captured rodents. All traps require intimate knowledge of the mouse’s habits and behaviour to use them effectively.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bait<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Baits can also be used, but they carry an increased risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor placement and use of bait can affect people, pets and wildlife. Owners would not be advised to do the priming at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mouse infestations are harmful and dangerous to humans. Mice feed on human food sources by destroying packaging cartons, paper, boxes and plastic to build their nests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hantavirus, definition and mode of transmission<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hantavirus is a severe lung syndrome caused by a virus. It is secreted in the urine, feces and saliva of infected animals. Most often these are rodents. When humans come into direct or indirect contact with these secretions, the virus is transmitted to them. Ditto when they are bitten by infected rodents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the virus is not transmitted from human to human, only from animal to human. This type of disease is called zoonoses because they can only be transmitted to humans through an animal. It has been found that domestic animals (apart from the domestic rat<\/strong>) and livestock cannot contract hantavirus so there is every reason to believe that only rodents can carry it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Symptoms of hantavirus<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Being a lung disease, one of the characteristic symptoms of hantavirus is difficulty breathing. At the beginning of the disease, the infected person begins to feel fever, chills, headache and muscle pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is about two weeks after the appearance of the first symptoms that they are usually accompanied by a feeling of shortness of breath. Nevertheless, this last manifestation of the disease can be observed after two days as after six weeks; it depends on the organism of the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hantavirus can also lead to kidney disease or infection. And although they are rare and very few people are prone to them, there is currently no treatment to combat these ailments. It is therefore better to be careful not to contract them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Risk of disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The urine, saliva and feces of some mice may contain viruses and bacteria, such as salmonella and hantavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is therefore necessary to exterminate any infestation of mice. It is advisable to act at the first sign of mouse infestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Populations are growing rapidly and are extremely difficult to eradicate. It is best to target infestations when colonies are small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most effective methods of exterminating mice are those administered by pest control professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact your exterminator in Montreal to arrange an inspection and consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
