Sneezing and Coughing Spreads Diseases, So Do Mice...

Woman suffering from a cold.

Many Yorkshire residents will do whatever it takes to avoid catching a cold or flu during cold weather - they will dress warmly, stay away from sick people, take their vitamins and so on.

What they forget is that there are other ways to spread diseases - mice and rats.

When temperatures plummet mice, rats and rodents look for shelter for 2 reasons - warmth and food.

It is too cold for them to stay out there, and since food is hard to come by they get into homes for it.

While you are busy protecting yourself from a cold or flu you may have a budding mouse infestation that can lead to diseases in your Warwickshire or Yorkshire home or business.

The important thing is to know the signs of mice, rat and rodent infestation so that you can take steps right away:
What can you do to prevent mice from getting into your home?

There are several steps that you can take. The first is to make sure that all food is kept away securely - the primary attraction for mice in homes or businesses is food. Make sure that all leftovers are kept in airtight containers in the fridge, and that the kitchen counter tops and floor are completely clean.

In addition to that you should seal all holes where mice and rats can come through.

Inspect your home to make sure that there are no entryways.

What if you find that you already have mice or rats in your home?
