White footed mice are small mice, up to about four inches in body length, which distinctive white feet. Common across the southeast of the country, they can rarely be found in Washington. These mice are shy, and usually avoid humans where they can. This makes  them uncommon pests in households, but as they can potentially carry disease they are still potentially quite damaging.

​White footed mice normally live in warmer, dry habitats but can adapt to live in urban settings. These mice are omnivores, and excellent climbers, which contributes to their ability to travel and survive in many habitats.
