A wild brush mouse infected with hantavirus was recently discovered near Mount Palomar, CA, bringing the total to 19 mice in the area found to be carrying the deadly virus since the start of 2010.

Hantavirus is typically found in mouse droppings, urine, saliva and nesting material. Hantavirus can be fatal if inhaled by humans, and there is no known treatment or vaccine. The virus can live for two or three days after its release into the environment.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the best way to prevent the presence of hantavirus in the home is by implementing an effective rodent control system. By not allowing mice to live, nest, and breed in your home, you can stop the problem before it has a chance to spread. The no-touch mouse trap is the best choice for mouse control, especially one that kills and seals the mouse within.

A no-touch mouse trap is a small device that is placed near a wall in an area where mice frequent. Users bait the trap by spreading its sealing hatch with a small amount of peanut butter. When the mouse takes the bait and enters the trap, it activates a powerful killing bar that kills the mouse quickly and effectively.

The killing bar also causes the no-touch mouse trap’s fluid-tight door to close, creating a seal that keeps in bodily fluids and odors, as well as disease-carrying fleas, ticks and other parasites. In fact, this is the only no-touch trap on the market with this unique feature, making this trap hygienic and safe as well as effective.

In addition, the no-touch mouse trap eliminates a user’s need for contact with the dead rodent after the kill. When the trap is full, users simply throw it in the trash without fear of becoming infected by parasites. Homeowners with more severe rodent problems can set several no-touch mousetraps for maximum effectiveness.

The no-touch mouse trap that 100% seals is the clean, safe and effective way to rid mice from a home.
