Mice Problems...
Contamination of Food
One of the main problems faced from having a mouse in your house is their
contamination of food with their urine and feces. Their gnawing on wood, paper,
cloth, books and insulation on wiring can also pose a real threat for any
homeowner. This can be noted by observing gnawing leaves paired tooth marks
about 1/8 inch wide and also seeing droppings which are rod-shaped and about 1/3
to ¼ inches long. Mice can also consume considerable quantities of stored seed
and grains from farmers and granaries.
Disease
Mice can carry a wide variety of diseases transmissible to humans. A very real
problem with the infestation of mice is the Hantavirus which has been a threat
in the arid southwestern part of the country. Another major concern is
salmonellosis which is transmitted by mice and is a concern in food storage and
preparation areas.
