Why do we need pest control for mice?


"Pet mice can be cute and good fun but pest mice can bring unwanted problems to normal life and must be taken much more seriously. They can affect us in several ways.

House mice carry bacteria and viruses the most significant being Salmonella and Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). Salmonella is an important food poisoning bacteria and so mice in kitchens (and they will certainly be seeking out food) is definitely taboo. Pest mice habits of feeding sporadically in many different areas makes food contamination a certainty and food surfaces, utensils and cutlery and crockery is also likely.

Although mice cannot carry and transmit Weil's disease, they do carry another form of leptospirosis, which, although not fatal, can cause mild illness.

LCMV is a rodent-borne viral infectious disease that presents as aseptic meningitis (inflammation of the membrane, or meninges, that surrounds the brain and spinal cord), encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), or meningoencephalitis (inflammation of both the brain and meninges). Individuals become infected with LCMV after exposure to fresh urine, droppings, saliva, or nesting materials. Pet rodents can also carry LCMV but this is less common.

Mice can produce some 50-60 droppings per night and urinate frequently all over the place"

Mr B used to deliver catering equipment to restaurants such as Jamie's Italian. He used to deliver in the early hours before opening time and he said that the kitchen surfaces and chopping boards had mice all over them. They wouldn't even run away when the delivery men went in.

I buy the 2 litre ones as well, they are just the same taste as usual in my opinion

The taste was different due to a variation in the canning line. Only some cans were tasting different

Alcohol levels are as low as 10mg in every litre, and this works out at around 0.001 per cent alcohol.

I am a fan of Pepsi max.

I get it in bottles from Morrisons. For some time now it has only been £1 for a 2 litre bottle

Same in Asda, but Sainsbury's are doing them for £1.50.

I notice that they also do a 1.5l bottle for £1.70 but sadly not in my branch.

It's been debated many times on here, Aspartame is one of the most rigorously tested food ingredients. Peer-reviewed comprehensive review articles and independent reviews by governmental regulatory bodies have analysed the published research on the safety of aspartame and have found aspartame is safe for consumption at current levels. {source}

Sugar, on the other hand, is a known causal factor for many health issues.

Why 'sadly'? a 1.5l bottle works out a lot more expensive.

Strange one though ”

I buy a lot of Pepsi Max, moved over from Coke Zero, bought some multi can packs this week, I noticed a definite touch of lemon that I've not detected previously.

Pepsi in any form has always been too sweet for me. The only one I can drink now is Coke Zero - it reminds me of the full fat Coke you get some at some places on the Continent which is about half as sweet as it is in the UK.

Call the free phone number on the can and they will ask for the batch number at the bootm of the can. They can then tell you if it is a batch gone wrong similar to mine. And they will send you vouchers if you want them.

The 2lt is on special offer at £1.50 or £1 (quite often too), so would normally be £2 or more.

I would buy the 1.5l to limit my intake, and it keeps it fizz longer than a 2lt bottle would.

On the other occasions i have bought it, it's always been quite a nice refreshing taste, but not now.

So just wondering if anyone has tasted this recently and has noticed a different taste to it”

I bought a 4 pack of Co-op's brand of Coke the other day and i had the same problem, it tasted like it had Vodka in it. I don't like Vodka and Coke anyway so to me it tasted disgusting.

I see.

I always buy the 2 litre bottle but only when it's on offer for £1, which is most of the time in ASDA. It does tend to go a bit flat before I can finish it, but I can live with that.

I think my ideal size would be a 1lt bottle.

The 500ml is too small, and the 2lt too big, and so is the 1.5lt in comparison to a 1lt one.

The bigger volumes for fizzy drinks are cheaper/litre anyway, so I can live with that as well.

I think you can get devices that you place into the top of the bottle to help keep the fizz in.
