What do mice look like and what are they looking for?
Most mice are small, around 2 – 3 inches and they have long tails. Usually, mice are black, brown or gray; they have big ears and beady eyes. They enter homes and other structures in search of food, water and shelter. You may realise you have mice in your home if you hear scratching and scurrying around your ceiling, wall, floors, attics or basement. It can be really annoying and keep you up at night. They will try to stay out of sight, but occasionally you will spot a mouse running across the floor scampering to a safe, small space.
Things to look for
Their droppings, that are black and rice like in shape and size, can be found throughout a home but are mainly found in the kitchen or pantry. In these areas, you may also find gnaw marks on boxes and bags of food that are stored in your cupboard. You will want to discard any food that has been tampered with in case of contamination . Nests can be found in crawl spaces or other areas that are dark and out of the way. The mice will make their nests out of remnants of paper, yarn, fabric, thread, newspaper and cardboard.
What to do if you have mice?
So, what do you do if you find evidence of mice in you business or home? Well, mice are very hard to get rid of, so it is advisable that you call a professional pest control service but if you are going to try it on your own, you will need to seal all entry points.
