Sadly very little. Mice, as in house mice, and not wild mice who are not connected to humanity in any way, have existed beside us since we became an agrarian culture. That is the first time we started planting our plants and growing more food than we needed the mouse appeared to eat the remnants. Food became so plentiful that animals began congregating around human camps, waiting for humans to sleep so they can eat the massive resevoir of food they create. This is why mice are especially drawn to us. Over time we would lock the food away. Large animals stopped being able to get at it but the tiny mouse, so small it can fit through a hole the size of a quarter has forever since been one of the only creatures to still be able to threaten human food supplies. Rats are of course worse, causing billions of damage to global food storages and causing billions of dollars in food waste.
If you suspect mice presence anywhere near or on your property, contact Pest Control Mississauga for quick and safe removal.
To this day the rat and the mouse have infested humanity’s food storage and restaurants with doors that are constantly opening and closing and with metric tons of garbage in the back calling upon all of the animals of the wild to come down and feast. The mouse will make use of the garbage but knows humans better than other animals. They know the real food is inside.
The restaurant has no real power over the rodents. They are busy cooking and serving food and by the end of the day, all they want to do is go home. The idea of having to deal with a pest infestation as well is too much to deal with in a restaurant. This is why restaurants, like most commercial buildings, will rely on professional exterminators to handle the mouse issue. However, keeping the back door closed as much as possible, putting all garbage into a tightly sealed garbage container and locking it will do a lot to prevent rodents from coming to your restaurant but will do nothing to get them out once they are there.
A trained technician can identify the possible entryways the rodents used, where they live and where they hunt and can lat down bait stations as well as seal opening that rodents might use to either get inside or to make an external burrow. Mice will live in the restaurant but rats will live outside and hunt mostly in the garbage. If your business is being threatened by rodents call Mouse Control now for a free inspection!
