House Mouse Control

Description:House mice are gray or brown rodents with relatively large ears and small eyes. An adult is roughly 5 ½" to 7 ½" long, including the tail.

Attractions:Although house mice usually feed on cereal grains, they will eat many kinds of human and pet food. They eat often, nibbling bits of food here and there. This rodent can enter your home through a hole smaller than a dime. House mice aren't shy about making their presence known. They leave behind droppings, gnawed food and tracks in the places they frequent the most. Their nests, made from fine shredded paper or other fibrous material, are often found in sheltered locations. They also have a musky odor that identifies their presence.

Damage: Their constant gnawing causes damage to structures and property. They contaminate food-preparation surfaces with their feces, which can contain the bacterium that causes food poisoning.
