Mice infestations can be detected by these signs:
Many homeowners only realize they have a mouse infestation once they notice signs. The most common sign is droppings; these are usually small and black and can vary from the size of a kernel of wheat to a raisin, depending on the type of mouse. Other signs include gnawing marks on baseboards and other wooden surfaces throughout the home, chewing or damage on stored food or fabrics, strange sounds coming from walls or floors such as squeaking and rustling nocturnal activity, seeing mice during the day, and a musty odour that indicates a large number of mice present. Homeowners should be vigilant and aware of these signs to take prompt action to eliminate the pests.
Professional treatment is required for mice.
When dealing with mouse infestations, it's important to have professional help. DIY methods such as traps, poisons, and repellents are not only ineffective but often dangerous - the last thing you want is to harm your family or pets with rat bait or get accidentally infected, to lead to infection or even worse. Professional exterminators have the expertise and equipment to safely remove the mice in a way that prevents their return, ensuring that your family is protected from their disease-causing ailments. They also know how to determine the source of the problem so that it can be treated - sealing off access points and doing structural repairs where necessary - providing a comprehensive solution that will save time, energy, and money in the long run.
The food mice eat
Mice are opportunistic feeders that enjoy a balanced and diverse diet. Mice can consume nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, grains, insect larvae, eggs, and meat - such as occasional pieces of cheese. In other words, mice will eat almost anything humans eat. They need very small portions because of their size! Mice have evolved to survive in various environments since they are adaptable creatures. As a result, they have also developed a knack for finding food sources wherever they go. While mice tend to prefer fresh food, they will feast on old leftovers and crumbs of various food when given the opportunity.
A mouse's appearance
Mice are small rodents with rounded bodies that reach about 5 to 8 inches long and a tail that is slightly longer than its body. They have soft, grey fur, small ears, and typically beady eyes. Mice are distinguished from rats by their smaller size, more pointed snouts, and lighter underbellies. In addition to appearances, another way to identify mice is by studying the droppings they leave behind. Mouse droppings are cylindrical in shape and measure about 1/4 inch in length. In contrast, rat droppings are usually larger and more oval or circular in shape. Finally, since mice need holes and areas to hide, look for signs like gnawed wood or chewing marks along baseboards and walls where they could be active.
