If the mice have seen the doorway to your home and you are afraid that soon there will be an infestation, here are some things you need to consider. First of all, you need to contact a professional pest control or extermination service for an inspection. Because you cannot risk waiting for the time when mice overrun your house. An early inspection can save you from a heap of trouble. If you think you have a mice infestation in your house, you need to follow the below-mentioned safety routine to keep everyone away from the risks.
1. While you are away, make sure you cover all the important things well
Once you know that the extermination will occur in your home, you need to quickly pack your most important stuff and leave for a few hours. In some cases, you may need to stay away from your home for a day or two. During this time, the professional exterminators will go around and remove all traces of mice from your house. They will also tear out some old wall pieces that may have room for the mice to hide. All of this may affect the way your home looks. If you don’t cover up everything well enough, you will return to a very devastating situation. Also, a neatly organized home is easier to manage for pest control professionals.
2. Don’t use any edibles that were out
For precaution, you should empty your fridge or any other cabinets that have edibles in them. The pesticides and chemicals that will be sprayed during the mice extermination are extremely harmful. You need to avoid any form of contact with them, especially with the food items. The chemical fumes can settle on the edibles and can cause severe food poisoning.
3. Discuss the Extermination plan and package with the exterminators thoroughly
Make sure you are on the same page with the exterminators about the whole process. Discuss every detail, ask for all the precautions that need to be taken during the extermination and afterward. Don’t forget to discuss all other hidden compartments or places you think may be infested. Attic, basement, storerooms, and other areas that are not very obvious, should be included in the extermination. Discussing this before the process will also give a good idea of charges. You may also consult your landlord if you are a tenant. Sometimes, homeowners have insurance for pest control, and they cover it all for you.
