Hamptons & East End Mouse & Mice Exterminator

How Destructive are Mice?

Since mice are so small, they can get into almost any space. While this is ideal for them, this can be disastrous for you, your family, and your home. Mice can and will chew through almost anything, including wood, cardboard, insulation, metal pipes, plastic pipes, and electrical wires. This means that the plywood that constitutes your subfloor, the drywall that makes up your walls, and the wiring throughout your home are all highly vulnerable to mice infestation.

Mice can transmit diseases that are fatal to humans. The hantavirus is carried by the deer mouse and white-footed mouse, both of which live on Long Island. A resident of Montauk died several years ago after contracting the virus.

Damage from mice can go undetected for months or even years, until something catastrophic happens. Many people don’t know that they have mouse problems until they see droppings, which means the mice have already settled in. You can prevent further damage by calling Twin Forks Pest Control® at the first sign of mouse infestation.
