Eco-Friendly Mouse Control

If you have a problem with mice on your property, it’s understandable that you would want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. Sometimes, though, this leads to making some rash decisions on just how to deal with the mice. Choosing just any method, such as using poisons and pesticides, ends up being a much greater problem.

Dangers of Poison and Pesticides

Even if just a “small” amount of poison is used to rid your home of mice, it could cause some serious repercussions. The mice that ingest the poison could get outside and be eaten by cats, hawks, etc. The poison could then kill or injure those other animals that are higher up on the food chain.

Another problem with poisons would be that they could end up making you, your kids, or your pets ill if you aren’t careful. It isn’t worth the health risks that could ensue.

Additionally, you should avoid using inhumane traps, such as glue traps. Those are cruel, and there are better means of getting rid of the mice that will not cause them to suffer. It’s not their fault they are pests. It is just in their nature.

Eco-Friendly Mouse Control Can Be Long-Lasting

You will find that even though eco-friendly control methods aren’t using poison, they can still be highly effective. It could even have longer-lasting effects, which means a home is likely to be rid of its pest problem for much longer. Some of the better companies will even offer a mouse-free guarantee for up to a year after the service has been completed.

A greener approach to pest control will be better for the environment. Even though it might seem like a small thing to do, every little bit can help. However, for many people, it’s not easy to use eco-friendly methods on their own. Fortunately, you don’t have to.
