The House Mice

Finding signs of a mice infestation and having a need for mice pest control has been a problem for humanity since we started storing food.

Mice pest control starts with understanding the house mouse.

The house mouse is very small, up to 9 cm in length, with a similar length tail, which like their ears is almost hairless.

They are very agile and small so they can jump and squeeze through tiny spaces. In fact, all they need is a 5mm gap (about the size of the top of a pencil!

Being rodents, they need to continuously gnaw to keep their teeth size down. Apart from the damage to your property and food they can also spread bacteria and disease as they move around. Another risk is fire and flooding due to their persistent chewing.

The house mouse does drink water but can survive for periods on dry food too.

The mouse gestation period is 20 days and a single mouse can have up to 14 young. Mice do not like light and will be more active in the evening or at night.

As mice are social creatures and have big families once you have a mice infestation.

Signs of a Mice Infestation

  • Gnaw Marks
    You find gnaw marks around the home. Things to look for are chew marks on food packaging, clothing, plastic and wooden items and newspapers or magazines. They will chew anything including wires and pipework.

  • Mice Droppings
    You spot small fresh mice droppings scattered around the places the mice go to regularly. This will be more likely where near food. Kitchen cupboards and surfaces being the most likely places.

  • Tail Marks
    Other signs of a mice infestation are tracks and tail marks through the dust. You will be more likely to see this in an attic. Also, look out for greasy marks where they pass through spaces frequently. These may be small.
  • Build Nest
    Mice tend to build nests in dark places. Typical places you may find signs of a mouse nest is under furniture, behind fridges and in cupboards. A nest may look like a small ball or pile of shredded material.

  • Mice Urinate
    As mice urinate frequently you may notice a strong ammonia smell. Add to this the unpleasant smell of a dead mouse in the house when they die. This may seem to come from under a floorboard or near a gap in a wall.

  • Scratching Noises
    You hear scrabbling or scratching noises at night coming from under floorboards, in the attic and in partition walls or ceilings.
