House mice, like rats, are small rodents found worldwide. The house mouse is one of the most common examples of mice encountered, widely taking up residence near humans and often kept as pets. While they often spend warmer months outside, as weather grows colder they seek shelter and food in human residences. They gnaw on household objects and structures, and can cause significant damage to electrical wires.
Mice are smaller and thus easier to catch then rats using a variety of lethal and nonlethal traps that are readily available. However, due to their high breeding rates it can be very difficult to fully eliminate a mouse infestation. If homemade strategies are not successfully controlling your mouse population, you may benefit from contacting professionals to help!
