Rodents are carriers of infectious diseases. But most often residents of apartments and houses, in which the mouse appeared, annoyed specifically the odor of rodents. Ammonia, contained in the excrement of these creatures, penetrates and accumulates in wood, tissues and other materials. Accordingly, to clean the room of mouse odor is quite difficult.
Ways to eliminate odor
Before you get rid of the smell of mice, you need to eliminate the rodent itself, as well as the causes of its occurrence. Otherwise - a relapse is ensured. It is mandatory to check the premises for gaps, holes in the walls and floor covering. In case of detection of such - immediately remove them. If the odor remains after the extermination of the rodents, then probably the "fragrance" comes from the dead mice.
Remove the smell of dead mice can be both mechanical and chemical. The first method consists in the direct removal of the source of odor, that is, the elimination of rodent bodies. In this case, even "help" of small insects, for example ants, is possible.
The chemical method consists in treating the room with antibacterial and deodorant solutions, as well as odor absorbers . Before removing the smell of mice with chemical preparations, check yourself and your loved ones for allergic tolerance of the substances used.
The danger of the smell of mice in the apartment
In addition to the most unpleasant "fragrance", many worry about whether the smell of a dead mouse is harmful. In fact, there is no danger to health of such an "aroma". The fact is that the basis of any cadaveric poison is putrescin and cadaverine substances, which are the source of the corresponding odor. These substances are harmful only in high concentrations, to isolate which corpses, even a few small rodents will not be enough.
