Have a Sanitary Thanksgiving!

As the holidays approach, many of us are planning to prepare a lot of food for numerous guests. When preparing large meals, many of us can cut corners in ways that are not normal. Surface areas might be doused with turkey gravy or vegetable oil. Food might fall to the floor and be left there until you are finished stirring the soup or basting the bird. Of course, as television personality and culinary expert Anthony Bordain once said, "I'd never let a little dirt ruin a good meal." The same can be said of the inevitable mess of cooking. Still, a little mess is a lot different than an unsanitary food prep environment, and that is why getting any lingering pest situation handled before Thanksgiving is so important.

Whether we are talking about flies or mice, the presence of pests is more than just a momentary inconvenience or a little bit of lovingly acquired grime. Pests spread diseases, and their presence can turn a big family meal into a family heath crisis. By spreading germs on any surface they touch, both of these beasts can become a real problem for a high-quality dinner.

With disposable fly traps placed anywhere your home might be vulnerable to a fly invasion, you can take a huge bite out of these critters. With the winter setting in, they will be fleeing into homes to try and survive the cold. Don't allow them to make your home their winter nest. Even if your home is unlikely to incur an infestation, some preparation—in the form of pre-ordering disposable fly traps—can be helpful.

Mice can also ruin Thanksgiving. Not only do they spread diseases through their feces and saliva, they will also dine on any foods they can get their hands on. Before you know it, an entire holiday feast can be compromised, costing you hundreds of dollars and creating more than a little disappointment. Glue mouse traps are really a necessity to have on hand for anyone who owns a home. Does that cover just about everyone? 

Keeping the kitchen sanitary is not the meticulous practice it may sound like. Instead, merely keeping food safe to eat can give your holiday the genuine feel of hominess without the risk of dysentery. Some sticky mousetraps or a fly trap is not much of an expense when you are assuring your Turkey Day goes off without a hitch.

Cute Mice, the Plague and Glue Mouse Traps

Rodents are often depicted as adorable and not the least bit threatening in films and cartoons. From Mickey Mouse to Ratatouille, there is a pop-cultural predilection for being bewildered by the overwhelming adorableness of these critters. It is easy to see why when you see cultures' most beloved mice and rats. They are fuzzy, funny and often wise beyond their species.

Even if how cute these cartoon mice were had no bearing on how we saw these creatures, we would still have the wide array of cute photography of actual mice all over the Internet to contend with. The truth is mice, and even rats, can sometimes be quite cute. The larger, more important and far scarier truth, however, is that Mickey Mouse is probably infested with a wide array of diseases he would be happy to defecate all over your kitchen counter without hesitation. This is why effective glue mouse traps are so important.

Sticky mouse traps are an effective way of curbing a nascent infestation without calling in an exterminator. It is important to do this because considering how quickly mice reproduce, you could find yourself at ground zero of a potential Bubonic plague outbreak in no time at all. Am I being an alarmist? No.

The Bubonic plague came from fleas who transmitted it to mice and rats. While the 25 million people killed by the Bubonic plague in the 14th century were an outlier, the disease does still pop up from time to time and is almost always traced back to rodents carrying it. Still hesitant to buy those glue mouse traps?

If you remain skeptical of the health concerns surrounding mice, then allow us to scale back the worry of plague specifically in favor of more common modern diseases. Mice can be linked to spreading salmonella poisoning and a wide array of other diseases that are usually transmitted by their feces getting into people's food or beverages. Mice evacuate their bowels without any sort of concern being paid to where or when. The results are contaminated countertops, floors, tables and any other surface in a person's home.

This all being said, Speedy Gonzalez, Mickey, Minnie, Feivel and the rest of their ilk remain adorable. Even the disease-spreading mice of the plague probably had a certain charm. It is simply not worth risking your own, or your family's, health for that charm. Have some sticky mouse traps ready for an infestation and remain aware of what might be crawling around your home.

Why I Use Humane Mouse Traps

When I was a little boy we were up in the woods at my uncle’s cabin. He called everyone over to look at a family of mice in a stump. There were a few babies and a mommy. After everyone had seen them squeak and pulse in their home they soon occupied themselves with other things. I remained, and eager for the mice to come out and play, I took a stick and encouraged them to come out by pumping the stick up and down in the stump. My uncle, drunk with rage, saw me and shouted, “What are you doing to those mice?” I, defenseless and innocent, didn’t realize what I had done, until he told me, “You killed all those baby mice!”

Needless to say this event permanently scarred me. Now whenever I see mice a wave of sorrow washes over me, especially when I’ve had to deal with them in my home. The little critters are cute but I know they must be gotten rid of. So I buy humane mouse traps, which I believe to be the best mouse traps, and spread them in areas where the mice congregate. When I catch them, I take the human mouse traps and release the little beasties into the wild.

Be The Catchmaster Of Your Domain!

A few years back I lived in New York - I really loved the city a lot, the big bright buildings, and the amazing restaurants and clubs. There was one thing in particular I wasn't too crazy about, and that was my apartment! We lived above a bar, which we didn't mind too much since we were younger and they played house music. But, this wasn't the worst part of it! The bad part was that after moving in, and ONLY after moving in did we find we were infested with little mice. Thankfully for us, they were just born that week and there were hundreds of them! Yea, mice can be cute.

But, they can also carry germs and get you really sick, especially if they are up on your counter tops, on your tooth brush, or rummaging through your food - which apparently they were. We were big animal people so we didn't want to just kill them and be done with it even though they were menacing. So, we did the next best thing - we became the Catchmaster of our domain. Hey, it's our house! Mice are somewhat like an annoying roommate. They eat all your food, and they don't even pay rent. There are VERY humane mouse traps you can find on our website.

Unlike the old traps where the mouse actually gets clamped down on, these humane mouse traps will literally trap the mouse, and allow you to get rid of it (alive). On the other hand, if you scream at the sight of a mouse, you could also consider mouse glue traps. These are the less humane way, but the easier, not have to touch mice way. Read More!

Welcome to the CatchMaster Blog!

Mice and rodents can be very annoying! To get rid of them, some people take the ‘Tom and Jerry’ approach by buying a cat to eliminate the problem. However, a cat comes with a whole set of new issues. Some people take the approach of spraying or placing toxic substances around their home or office. As with any poisonous material there can be serious risks that come with taking that approach. We don’t want to risk, god forbid, a child or pet eating or inhaling the poison which can be fatal or cause severe damage to their body.

In addition to the annoyance of having mice, they also can cause a disease called Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) which is very fatal. Mice droppings, urine and saliva can be contaminated and cause this illness. There are also studies that have been published claiming that airborne mouse allergen can cause asthma.

Some of the best methods of catching mice simply involve placing the proper traps in ideal locations around the house. Using glue boards can be very effective if they are positioned properly. Non toxic sticky mouse traps or glue boards are easy to use and very economical. They can be used for mice, insects and snakes. Always remember that closing up holes in the walls or floorboards of your house and keeping food in sealed containers will help keep new mice and rodents away from your home or office.
