Mice

Mice are very harmful pests, damaging and eating crops and spreading diseases through their parasites and feces.

What kind of Mice do I have?

There are two common types of mouse species then enter homes and businesses. The house mouse is a smaller rodent that has a slightly pointed nose; small, black, somewhat protruding eyes; larger ears; and a nearly hairless. They are generally grayish brown with a gray or buff belly. The deer mouse has white feet, usually white undersides, and brownish upper surfaces. Their tails are relatively long, sometimes as long as the head and body. Their tails are also sharply bi-colored. In comparison to house mice, Deer mice have larger eyes and ears.

Why do I have them?

Mice are commensal, that is, they share space with humans and partially depend upon us to survive. They require food, shelter and water in order to survive, and therefore are always looking for them. They can enter a hole less that 1/4" in diameter. Most structures are not sealed appropriately, leaving many entry points for rodents.

Are they dangerous?

Yes. The deer mouse transmits the potentially fatal Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. The disease can be transmitted through contact with mouse carcasses, or by breathing in aerosolized urine droplets of infected deer mice. Micro droplets of mouse urine can cause allergies in children. Mice can also bring fleas, mites, ticks and lice into your home.
