Mice can become a problem in any of our homes because they provide them with food, water, and warm, safe shelter. The mouse's small size and agility make it easy for them to move in and out of our houses.
Many people think that mice only move into our homes during the colder winter months, but the truth is that mice can and will get into our homes at any time of year. Lack of food outdoors, extreme temperatures, and the presence of predators cause these rodents to seek shelter.
Mice are nocturnal, so unless there is a large infestation underfoot, you probably won't notice the mice themselves first but instead signs of their presence, such as:
Scratching or running sounds behind walls.
Gnaw marks on cabinets, furniture, trim, or floors.
Mouse droppings in drawers or along floors.
A musty odor in your house.
If you notice any of the above signs, you should seek help from a professional rodent control expert.
