Professional Mouse-Proofing
Said Best Way To Check Home
By United Press International J
This is a good time to begin
planning how to de-mouse
your house.
Many of us have been Dis
neyed into believeing mice are
humorous, harmless little crea
tures concerned only with kid-
die clubs, talking ducks and
goofy dogs.
But the hard cold truth is
that mice in America this year
will cause nearly one billion
dollars damage. In additon,
there is the unknown cost of
mouse-born diseases such as
typhus, infectious jaundice,
amebiasis, and a mysterious
modern disease rickettsial
pox, a fever accompanied by
severe headache and a rash.
For every mouse in your
house you pay $10 a year. A
house mouse may trim its
teeth by gnawing a hole in
your door or wall, or on the
leg of a chair. Books, clothing,
papers and insulation may be
damaged by female mice seek
ing nesting material.
Multiply Rapidly
Mice mature within three
months of birth. A mature
mouse can bear as many as
120 offspring a year. This
means that one pair of mice
left unmolested in your home
might multiply several hun
dred times in 12 months.
A cat is not the answer to
the mouse problem. Ordinari
ly cats serve omy to frighten
mice into hiding.
Professional mouse-proofing
is the quickest way to obtain
protection for your home.
However, this is sometimes ex
pensive and, in small towns,
often not available.
Because of this, such experts
as John Beck, a Department
of Agriculture representative
stationed at Ohio State Uni
versity, suggest it is more
practical for each family to
take steps to protect its own
home.
Good housekeeping is the
. first step. Mice thrive on filth.
Make sure food is not left in
the open and that scraps are
placed in covered containers
or garbage disposals.
Keep Basement Clean
Particular care should be
taken to keep the basement
clean. -Proper lighting .will
eliminate dark corners and
other hiding places.
Proper janitor service and
careful attention to garbage
disposal is important. Faulty
incinerators in basements at
Kew Gardens, N.Y., caused
a dangerous rickettsial pox,
epidemic in 1947 which infest-'
ed a three-block area.
All openings must be closed.
Experts say mice are so plas-

tic they can flatten themselves
and squeeze through any open
ing larger than one-half inch
in diameter.
Check Openings
Pipes and wires should be
checked at the point where
they enter your house. Cement
openings around them or cov-
er holes with a strong wire
screen called hardware cloth.
Fit basement drainage pipes
with tight covers. Sills should
be put under doors and win
dows so mice cannot squeeze
under them.
With all sources oi entry
closed, you're safe from out
side mice, and ready to begin
eliminating any that have al
ready set up housekeeping in
your home.
This is a relatively easy
job. Mice spend their lives
ordinarily in an area no larger
than 15-feet in diameter. They
usually locate in cupboards, j
closets, or behind stoves and
refrigerators.
Lifective placing of snap
traps and poison tn these areas I
will ria your nome oi roaenxs.
Traps cheap enough so
that you can buy a dozen with
out great expense are most
effective when placed in series
of three or more. Speed and
intelligence will ofen enable
a mouse to evade a single
trap.
Enlarges Surface
Adding a two-inch square of
corrugated cardboard to trap
triggers will enlarge the trap
ping surface and double the
effectiveness of traps.
Use fresh bait. Smear pea
nut butter over the trap or put
down a chunk of chocolate
wih nuts. Sprinkle oats over
the bait to make ij more at
tractive. Vary the bait so mice do
not learn to associate danger
with the smell of a particular
food. This is easy, since mice
like most foods that humans
eat.
Arsenic and strychnine are
quick killers. But because chil
dren or pets may unwittingly
eat baited food, these poisons
should only be used by pro
fessional exterminators.
For the average homeown
er, it's safer to use Warfarin,
Pival, Fumarin, or D-Con.
These are sold at drugstores.
They are called anticoagulant
poisons because they kill by
preventing normal blood clot
ting. Feed Pets Well
To cut down chances of sec
ondary poisoning, pets should i
be well-wed. Care should be J
taken to make the bait as un
attractive as possible for cats
and dogs. Never use meat as

New York - (UPD - Increased
international trade holds the
key to the future peace and
prosperity of the free world,
says a leading industrial show

Charles Snitow, who pro
duces a number of trade fairs,
said increased trade not only
brings money into a country's
coffers, but also builds good
will and trust between it and
other nations. ' ,
"We, as Americans, have
come to realize that world
trade is in fact an economic
denominator among all na
tions," Snitow said.
"We know full well that the
sale of foreign goods and com
modities to this country gen
erates the purchasing power
necessary lor Duuaing gooa
customers abroad for our
American-made products."

have worked on the remodeling of the Front
st. building on Saturdays. The partitions in

countries cannot buy Ameri
can goods unless they can sell
goods here and obtain vitally-,
needed dollars
"World trade is a two-way
street. To generate lasting in
ternational h a r m o n y," he
added, "we must continue to
foster and build healthy
economies abroad. This is the
only way the free world can
achieve its common aims -peace,
prosperity and human
freedom." '
Snitow produces such ma
jor shows as the United States
World Trade Fair, the Interna

National Hardware Show and
the National Fancy Food and
Confection Show.
Proud Of Trade Fair
He said he is particularly
proud of the U. S. World

even bigger than last year's
show, when more than 144,
700 trade buyers, merchandise
executives and manufacturers'
representatives placed orders
for products running into the
hundreds of millions of dol

"The fair has become the
greatest single market place
for foreign goods in the West

"At the fair, buyers for Ameri
can industry can find every
thing from drill presses and
sewing machines to flowers
and food."
In addition, many com
panies at the fair also place
great stress on tourism. Some
of them have built elaborate
exhibits ranging from an
Oriental temple to a tropical
island.
