    Mice Control

    Mus musculus

    Mice are small rodents that frequently invade homes in search of food, water, and shelter. They reproduce rapidly and can cause significant damage.

    How to Identify Mice

    Proper identification is the first step in effective pest control. Mice have distinct physical characteristics and behaviors that help distinguish them from other common household pests. Look for these key identifiers:

    • Small size (2-4 inches long, plus tail)
    • Large ears and small black eyes
    • Pointed snout
    • Leave small, rod-shaped droppings

    Are Mice Dangerous?

    Mice contaminate food and surfaces with urine and feces, spreading diseases like Salmonella and Hantavirus. They also chew on wires, creating fire hazards, and damage insulation and drywall.

    Why Do I Have Mice?

    Mice enter homes through gaps as small as a dime, seeking warmth and food, especially during the fall and winter.

    How to Prevent Mice

    While professional treatment is often necessary for an active infestation, you can take proactive steps to make your property less attractive to Mice:

    Seal all cracks and holes in the exterior with steel wool and caulk
    Store food in heavy plastic or glass containers
    Keep kitchens clean and sweep floors regularly
    Eliminate outdoor clutter and keep firewood away from the house
