House Mouse Identification & Prevention

House mice infestations are dangerous to have around your property due to several different factors. The main problem with this rodent is the many diseases mice carry. Mice will scavenge throughout your property and leave bacteria across surfaces and within food preparation areas. This leads to a high risk of illnesses such as leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, and typhus.

Mice will also soil your property with their droppings and urine; this waste may also dry up and become airborne, further spreading disease. Additionally, all rodents must chew or gnaw constantly to keep their front teeth in shape. Mice can chew through wires, brick, wood, and pipes around your property, resulting in costly damage and the risk of electrical shorts and significant destruction.

House mice are attracted to properties that offer them secluded and dark places to live, plenty of food within easy reach, and excess moisture to drink from. If you are noticing a house mouse problem on your property, you likely have many of these factors on display, along with gaps and cracks that let mice into the interior areas of your property.

The best way to get rid of mice is by addressing and removing these mouse attractants.

House mice like to hide in dark, secluded, and quiet areas around your property. You will most likely find mice around food storage areas, in the space between walls, around attics or basements, or inside crawl spaces. Outdoors, house mice prefer to hide around wood piles, overgrown foliage, and dumpsters or trash cans.
