Professional pest control service providers in Toronto are facing five times as many calls this summer thanks to thirsty mice.Experts are exploring the sudden spike in mice sightings this year. Some experts think the excessively dry weather could be responsible as these dry conditions combined with the heat push mice towards cooler places like the basement.

He believes a full-scale investigation would be needed to find out the exact cause of increased mice sightings in Mississauga this summer. Until then, contacting our professional mice exterminators in Mississauga is the best way to stay safe.

Rats were involved in a heist of a different kind recently at an ATM in north-eastern India where they chewed up $19,000 worth of currency! With an estimated seven billion population, rats are the most populous of pests across the globe. In some countries like the U.K., rats equal humans in terms of population, but in some cities such as Paris, there are 4 rats for one human! There are at least 64 different types of rats. The speed with which these pests can multiply is said to be one of the major reasons why such high population of rats persists. While the female rat matures at 4 weeks from the time it is born, it needs just 21 days to give birth. Annually a rat can give birth 6 times with up to eight pups being born each time. It is always advisable to call a pest exterminator for your pest problems in Mississauga.
