Mice Control: Protect Your Home from Rodent Infestations

What Are Mice?

Mice are small rodents that are often found living in or around human homes. They reproduce quickly and adapt to various environments, making them common pests. They can cause significant damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, wood, and food packaging.

Common Types of Mice Found in Homes

• House Mouse (Mus musculus): Small, gray or light brown, found in homes, garages, and basements.
• Deer Mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus): Brown or gray with a white belly, common in rural areas.
• Field Mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus): Reddish-brown, typically found in fields and rural areas.

Signs of a Mice Infestation

• Droppings: Small, dark, rice-shaped droppings.
• Gnaw Marks: Damage on wires, insulation, and food packaging.
• Noises: Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls and ceilings.
• Nests: Found in hidden areas made from shredded materials.
• Urine Stains: Yellowish stains along walls and in corners.

Why You Should Control Mice in Your Home

• Health Risks: Mice can carry diseases such as hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis.
• Property Damage: Gnawing on wires, insulation, and wood can lead to costly repairs.
• Food Contamination: Mice can contaminate food with droppings and urine.
• Reproduction: A single female mouse can produce up to 12 litters per year.
