Do Mice Really Spread Lice?

January 7th, 2015|Pest Prevention, Rodents|

There is a common misconception that lice begin in the homes of dirty people, and that we can protect ourselves by not sharing hats, scarves, and other clothing that touch near the head. Though these precautions can help prevent the spread of lice, it is patently absurd to believe that lice spontaneously appear on the heads of dirty people. They are insects. Like all insects, the only way they are going to get into your hair, is by crawling or flying into it. Since they don't fly, the most common way you'll get lice is by the above ways. You put on a hat that someone with lice wore, and those lice mosey on into your hair. But there is a grander picture I want you to see. A topic that usually gets skirted over when you read anything about lice. Namely, where do lice come from?

How To Tell If You Have Mice + What To Do About It

December 10th, 2014|Rodents|

It's easy to tell if you have mice when they're scraping and bumping in your bedroom walls. But many mice will find other routes from the attic to the kitchen, or simply live in the pantry or kitchen wall voids since they like to be close to their food source. If you hear mice in your bedroom walls, you're one of the lucky ones. Mice are exceptionally timid and not easily detected in a home. They quietly scurry along the wall and disappear under cabinets if they hear anyone coming. The National Pest Management Association even makes the claim that if you see a mouse in your kitchen, it's a pretty good indication there are many living in your home. Over population and limited food sources make mice more desperate and willing to take greater chances.

How To Tell If There Are Mice In Your Home

October 6th, 2014|Pest Prevention, Rodents|

You will hardly ever see a mouse. They are timid, nocturnal creatures. If it's crawling around your kitchen, it's doing it under the cover of night. And if it hears you coming, it is going to get out of dodge before you flip those lights on. For this reason, mice are a threat to many families. If you don't know they are in your home, you don't realize that they are contaminating your food supply and leaving a variety of bacteria and decay on your dishes. A wild mouse is not something you want in your home. It brings the rot from that dumpster down the street right into your silverware drawer.
