I grew up in the city, so when my wife Jennifer and I bought our first house, I thought the wildlife in the country was awe inspiring. I was soon to find out that not all fuzzy and furry creatures are cute. Some are pests.

Unfortunately, one mouse turned into five and my home soon turned into a rodent haven. I found torn boxes, mouse poop, and nests all over my basement. I soon called a pest control expert, and I was informed that the mice chewed through the electrical wires in my house. I then learned that mice can cause house fires, diseases, and extensive home damage. I want you to know these things too, so your home can be protected just like mine.
