At the first sign of a mouse, people usually shriek and head in the other direction. These tiny little pests strike fear in even the tallest humans.
Musophobia, a fear of rodents is a very common phobia. People fear rodents because they have a long history of causing illness for humans as far back as the bubonic plague. They carry parasites and can transmit many different types of diseases. Not to mention the fact that they can tear apart clothes and contaminate food as well. Rodents are bad for businesses and bad for our health too.
Rodents are everywhere, but mice are more commonly seen than rats. Seems like no hole is too small for a mouse to fit through. They can fit into a hole that is no bigger than the size of a pea. What makes this possible is that a mouse’s sloping clavicle is positioned differently than humans. It does not provide the same barrier that a human does. Mice also have collapsible rib cages, which enables them to flatten themselves so they can squeeze through narrow cracks.
If a mouse’s head can pass through a hole, they know that they can also get their body through too. The body of a mouse seems bigger, but the head is the biggest feature a mouse has.
Rodents pose a huge threat when it comes to contamination and disease. It’s important to do whatever is necessary to keep them out of your home and business. According to the CDC, rodents can spread hantavirus, plague, rat-bite fever, salmonella, tularemia, leptospirosis, etc.
