Mice are small rodents that can quickly become a major nuisance for homeowners. These tiny intruders are known for their ability to squeeze through even the smallest gaps, making them difficult to keep out. Once inside, mice reproduce rapidly, increasing the severity of infestations. Their presence can lead to structural damage, food contamination, and health risks. Addressing a mouse problem promptly is essential to protect your home and well-being.
Mice are typically 2.5 to 4 inches long, with tails that add an additional 3 to 4 inches. They have pointed snouts, large ears, and a light brown or gray coat with a lighter underbelly. Mice are nocturnal and highly curious, which means they are most active at night as they search for food and nesting materials. These agile climbers and jumpers can easily access different areas of a home. Mice reproduce quickly, with a single female capable of producing up to 10 litters per year, each containing 5 to 12 pups.
Mice prefer warm, sheltered environments with easy access to food and water. In homes, they are commonly found in attics, basements, wall voids, and kitchens. Outside, they nest in fields, woodpiles, and other hidden areas. Once inside, they seek out dark, undisturbed spaces to build nests using shredded paper, insulation, and other soft materials. Their adaptability allows them to thrive in both urban and rural settings.
Mice pose significant health and property risks. They contaminate food with their droppings, urine, and fur, which can spread diseases such as hantavirus, salmonellosis, and leptospirosis. Their constant gnawing behavior can damage electrical wiring, insulation, and structural components, increasing the risk of electrical fires. Additionally, mice can attract other pests like mites and fleas, further exacerbating the problem.
