What are the signs of a mice infestation?

Mice are one of those pests that leave a lot of evidence behind. From bite marks to nasty brown “presents”, if you start a scavenger hunt for signs of a rodent invasion, you’ll definitely find a lot to go by. Here is what to look out for:

• Brown “presents” - If you spot random, dark, small and brown “gifts” located along the walls or under the sink, there is a big chance that a mouse has left them after its dinner.
• A nasty smell - A strong ammonia smell just magically appearing in your home can be a good indicator for a rodent infestation.
• Footprints - Look for tiny paw prints located in generally dusty areas around your property like the attic or basement. If you suspect that a mouse has been running through your living room, for example, try sprinkling a bit of flour to uncover potential footprints.
• Nests - Inspect your property for mouse houses made from shredded newspaper or fabric. The most likely places for a rodent nest is under floorboards, behind your fridge, in the wall cavity or under a cupboard.
• Weird noises - If you start hearing scratching noises in the middle of the night, don’t worry, you don’t have a poltergeist. Mice are most active during the night hours, so a weird noise coming from behind the wall is a sure sign of an infestation.
• A live, breathing mousse - If you see a mouse grocery shopping in your pantry, well, you have a very good reason to call a pest control technician ASAP.

If you want to avoid having a mouse family moving inside your walls, again, you can try the precautionary measures we’ve described below:

• If you have any existing tiny cracks and holes located on your property’s exterior, make sure to seal them, so the rodents can’t use them as entry points;
• Use caulk or steel wool to fill cracks and holes around the piping in your house;
• Store dry food in plastic containers, in order to avoid attracting not only mice but other types of a pest, as well;
• Take care of any clutter you might have in your home, such as magazine piles and unopened mail;
• Make sure to regularly check your attic and basement for signs of mice presence;
• Rodents like to live near a water source. Make sure to eliminate any leaks in your property.
