The Mouse & The Vending Machine

Pest Control Kent
Q. What is worse than finding a worm in your apple?
A. Finding half a worm.
Okay, we know it’s an old lame joke, but how would you fancy sharing your chocolate bar with a mouse?
Would you believe it?
A mouse was found munching away on the chocolate bars in a vending machine. A customer bought himself a bar of chocolate and noticed that the corner of it had been nibbled, making him peer into the machine. To his surprise, he found a mouse quite happily sitting there eating his (unpaid) snacks. That mouse must have felt as though he had struck gold. What a wonderful house for him to live in. I doubt he would ever want to leave. The company that owns the machine are carrying out a full explanation on how this could have happened, and have since removed the machine and fumigated the area.
Pest Control Kent & mice
Our company has a lot of experience in this field, as the rodent is a common pest that will turn up in the least expected places. Family homes, factories, fields, farmlands, urban areas and the countryside are just a few to mention. As we have seen today, they can even be spotted in vending machines.
Mice are very cute at getting into small places. If you leave crumbs lying around, then you are taking a chance of inviting them. They start in your garden and work their way into the house.
Once this happens, it is best to call Pest Control Kent, to make sure the job is well done.
