STOP MICE NOW!
Mice may seem harmless, or just a small nuisance, but they can wreak havoc on your home, and your life. They can chew through you walls, wires and pipes, and spread dangerous bacteria and viruses.
Everyday, a mouse can spread 30-60 pellets of feces which can be loaded with virus. Mice also mark their territory by spraying their urine.
Mice prefer to stay hidden, and they breed rapidly. So when you spot a mouse, you can be sure many more are nearby.

Here are just a few of the viruses related to mice:

Hantavirus
- is a virus can be carried by rodents, including mice. Infected rodents spread the virus in their saliva, feces, and urine. People are infected when they inhale dust that contains dried rodent urine or feces. Hantavirus can cause a rare but deadly disease in people called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).
