HELP! I Need An Exterminator!

You have all seen the cartoons and comics where a woman jumps on a chair and screams “Eek!” when she spots a mouse. While this might not be a realistic scenario, the truth is, most of us aren’t happy when we spot a mouse in our home. Your first thought is probably “I need an exterminator!”

Why Should You Call An Exterminator?

The truth is, there are a lot of reasons why we don’t want mice hanging around – other than that they can startle you when they scurry across the room at an inopportune time!
A mouse infestation in your home can cause health risks that you may not have been aware of. Mice, and the droppings that they leave behind, are associated with various health issues.

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), a disease which can be fatal, can be spread through droppings, urine or saliva. Exposure to mice and their droppings can be the cause of allergies, asthma symptoms and other asthma related diseases. The allergen which causes these can be found in the urine and dander of the mice, and can be found anywhere in your home where they have been. Those whose systems are immunosuppressed are most at danger from the allergens.

Of course, many individuals have always relied on that old tried and true exterminator for mice – the cat. Although this may be a good preventative measure, it is not one that can be counted on to eradicate your problem – and can have allergy sufferers exchanging one problem for another!
