Mice can become pests when they enter homes or other buildings and cause damage or unsanitary conditions. If you suspect a mouse infestation, contact a professional pest control company for treatment.
Understanding Mice
Mice can enter buildings through small openings and crevices, and they can also be brought in through contaminated food, furniture, or other items. Below are several ways mice can affect property owners:
- Causing unpleasant odors and noise, especially at night when they are most active.
- Damaging furniture and other household items by gnawing or burrowing into them.
- Chewing on electrical wiring and insulation, which can cause fires or power outages.
- Contaminating food and surfaces with droppings and urine, which can spread diseases.
- Carrying fleas, ticks, and mites, which can also become pests.
- Eating stored foods in pantries or other food storage areas.
Signs of a Mice Infestation
- Holes or burrows in walls, floors, or other surfaces, which are caused by mice gnawing or burrowing.
- Gnaw marks on woodwork, walls, or other surfaces.
- Mouse droppings, which can appear as small, dark, rod-shaped pellets.
- The sound of gnawing, scratching or scampering, especially at night.
- Small, dark rub marks along baseboards, walls, or other surfaces, which are caused by the oil and dirt on the mice’s fur.
- Nests, which can be made of shredded paper, fabric, or other materials, in hidden or hard-to-reach areas.
- Live mice or dead mice, especially at night.
