Mice
Mice Control Services
The common house mouse can be a significant problem for homeowners and commercial premises managers. Mice carry diseases such as leptospirosis (bacteria found in urine) and illnesses linked to gastroenteritis, creating a high risk of cross-contamination.
Mice also cause structural damage due to their constant need to gnaw, often damaging electrical wires and water piping, which can result in expensive repairs.
The Life Cycle of Mice
- Reproduction: A female mouse can have 5–10 litters per year, usually 5–6 babies per litter.
- Gestation & Growth: Young are born 19–21 days after mating and reach maturity in 6–10 weeks.
- Lifespan: Mice usually live 6–12 months, though some can live up to 2 years.
What to Look For
Common signs of a mouse infestation include:
- Sightings: Mice are nocturnal but can sometimes be seen during the day.
- Damage to food: Mice eat little and often, contaminating food supplies.
- Damage to wiring or piping: Caused by gnawing.
- Droppings: Small black droppings, about the size of a grain of rice.
- Smear marks: Dark greasy marks left on surfaces from repeated contact with dirty fur.
