Are you noticing scratching sounds from walls, attic, or other hidden locations in your house, or see gnaw marks, small droppings ¼ inch in size, or smell foul odors? That is probably house mice in your home.
Grey-brown, hairless ears & tail, 6-7 inches from nose to end of tail pest is active at dusk and night. They multiply very fast, the mother gives birth to 5-8 young and is ready for breeding again after 3-6 weeks. They don’t need much food to survive, just 1.5 ml of water and 3 gm of food. They use soft materials like paper, straw, and cloth to make their nest. They may spread Salmonella disease through droppings.
House mice eat a variety of foods similar to human beings, grain products, agricultural products, and sweet liquids. They may cause property damage such as gnawing electric wiring insulation. They are nibblers and will feed 18 to 25 times per day consuming a small amount of feed each time. An adult mouse needs 3 grams of food and 1.5 ml of water per day to survive. Mice prefer to eat at night and are most active at dusk. They are active in the quietest times if the lighting is continuous. Mice activity noticed during the daytime might be an indication of a very heavy infestation.
We recommend a professional inspection before treatment. The IPM approach is better than a traditional treatment to control house mice, Norway rats, or roof rats.
