Mouse in Your House 

The house mouse is the most successful rodent in adapting to live with people. It is found almost anywhere people are, feeding on human food, sheltering in human structures, and reproducing at a remarkable rate. It is the most troublesome and economically important vertebrate pest, contaminating untold millions of dollars worth of food, damaging possessions, and causing electrical fires with its constant gnawing.

House Mouse Problems

House mice are a common problem in homes and in all types of businesses. Nearly everyone can remember times when they were irritated by mice. Mice are nuisances to rich and poor alike. The continual drain that house mice impose on stored food and fiber, and the damage they cause to personal possessions are the most serious economic threats. House mice also have the potential to transmit diseases and parasites to people and domestic animals.

Mouse Control

Effective mouse control requires understanding mouse biology and habits. A few mouse traps will not get rid of mice from your home. it is particularly important to understand the major differences between mice and rats. During the past few decades, control of rats has improved while problems with house mice have increased. Baiting programs often are more successful in controlling rats than they are for mice.
