Love is in the air!
New studies have shown that male mice will "sing" a tune when they catch the scent of a female mouse. The high-pitch chirping that some of us are familiar with is actually a sort of love song used to attract a female counterpart. Research has shown that these singing mice have their own signature song and each has a unique voice, which is how the females differentiate between their relatives and strangers. There is also a difference in song, duration, and pitch from laboratory, wild, and house mice. I wonder if I can download a track on iTunes…?
Interesting as it is to know more about the mating habits of mice, I sure wouldn’t mind if they could cut back a little on all of that love! An acoustically gifted male and his mate can have 5-10 litters each year, with 5-6 mice in each litter. I don't know about you, but I find that a bit disturbing! A small nuisance that starts with just a couple of mice can quickly escalate into a large-scale infestation, so stay on top of rodent problems. Two mice are definitely easier to deal with than 102!
Another FYI, just like small portions of chocolate improve our athletic performance; the same effect has been found in mice. Chocolate sends power to the cells in their body and increases the amount of oxygen to their muscles! Research has shown mice that have been fed chocolate can pair up, energy wise, to those who have been regularly active.
What's more romantic than a one of a kind love song accompanied by some sweet chocolate on Valentine's Day? You and Fresh Cab Rodent Repellent! You can also pair up to chase rodents out of your home; they can have their fun somewhere else! I place these mouse pouches around any openings to the outside and mouse paths that already exist in my house. By doing this, I prevent any more rodents from coming in to my home and am able to enjoy love songs and chocolate without any thoughts of mice.
