Mice Infestation Signs
Here are some common signs of a mouse infestation:
- Droppings: Mice leave small, dark droppings, resembling rice grains, in areas they frequent.
- Gnaw marks: Look for chewed or gnawed marks on food packaging, wires, and furniture. Mice have a constant need to gnaw to keep their teeth from growing too long.
- Nesting materials: Mice use materials like shredded paper, fabric, and insulation to build nests. Check for these materials in hidden corners or storage areas.
- Urine odor: Mice have a distinctive ammonia-like smell. If you notice a strong, unpleasant odor, it could be a sign of a mouse infestation.
- Scratching noises: Mice are nocturnal, so you might hear scratching or rustling sounds in walls, ceilings, or under floorboards during the night.
- Footprints or tracks: Check for tiny footprints or tracks in dusty areas. Mice have small, four-toed front prints and five-toed hind prints.
- Holes and burrows: Mice create small holes and burrows in walls or insulation for nesting and travel.
- Visible mice: In some cases, you may see mice running around, especially at night.
If you suspect a mice infestation, it's essential to take action promptly to prevent further issues and potential health risks.
Dangers Posed by Rodents
Mice can cause an increase in allergy or asthma symptoms as well as spread the dangerous diseases listed above. Because of this, we strongly recommend that you do not attempt to tackle these infestations on your own. Our team has the expertise and the tools necessary to safely handle a mouse infestation.
Mice might be cute for some, but wild mice can be the vectors of many kinds of diseases that could pose a health hazard to you and your family. These diseases include:
- Bubonic Plague
- Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
- Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis
How Do Mice Get Into the House?
Because mice are mammals, they have a more complex behavior pattern than other kinds of pests. This can make them difficult to remove, largely because they are both tricky and adaptable. Like other pests, mice can spread disease, damage your home and your belongings, and contaminate food. They are attracted to sources of food, water, and shelter. If you leave things like pet food unsealed, or leave a pipe leaking for too long, these things can attract mice into your home. Mice find even the tiniest of places to squeeze through, and often enter your home through holes and cracks in the foundation, walls, windows and floor. Due to their small body size, mice are able to fit through holes as tiny as a dime. Many of customers find that infestation occurs even more in the winter, as mice look to your home as a place to survive when the temperatures drop.
