Mice are tiny, furry little critters. You might be thinking, “How could they be dangerous?” In many ways, actually. These little rodents have the ability to carry disease, contaminate food, draw other rodents, and compromise the structural integrity of your home.

While a couple of mice might not seem like a huge problem, these rodents can multiply quickly. This enlarges the problem to a point you may not have ever thought you’d see. By multiplying quickly, this also multiplies the problem you were already facing. This means more damage done at a faster rate, and if left for too long, the damage could cost tens of thousands of dollars in structural damage alone.
Disease
One of the biggest issues with mice in attic is that they are disease carriers. Mice can carry any number of diseases, but one of the most dangerous is the Hantavirus. Most diseases mice carry are easily transferable to humans because they can go airborne; you simply have to breathe incontaminated dust particles. This means that, by living in your home, you and your family may be exposed to the diseases carried by mice.
It’s important not to disturb the nests of the mice living in your attic unless absolutely necessary, and even then it’s important to wear the proper equipment. It’s best to leave this to your local wildlife removal experts. They have the protective gear and know-how to make sure the mice in attic and their disease-ridden nests and feces are removed correctly and safely.
Keep your family and loved ones safe by getting the mice in your attic out as quickly as possible.
Structural Damage
Mice teeth are constantly growing, forcing mice to always be chewing. While it may seem cute when in a cage, it can be detrimental to the integrity of your home. Mice will chew on your structural beams, paneling, drywall, concrete, and more. Once used to help keep a roof over your head and your family warm, these parts of your home are now the chew toys of the unwanted guests living above you.
This structural damage can become an even more serious issue. Should there ever be some kind of event, such as a flood or fire, in your home that can be linked to the chewing of these mice, there’s a very real chance that your homeowner’s insurance will not cover it. This means you’ll not only have to pay for the restoration of your attic, but also the damage of the event. And all of this comes from your pocket.
