Southeast Michigan, Metro Detroit & Ann Arbor Area Mouse Treatment

How to Identify A Mouse Infestation?

Have you seen droppings in your home recently that look like tiny pellets? Are there little holes in cardboard or plastic food bags? If so, you might have a mouse problem on your hands.

Mice are a type of rodent similar to rats, squirrels, and chipmunks. There are many different species of mice. House mice and deer mice are the most common mice in Michigan. All mice species are relatively small and are most commonly either brown, white, or grey. Like most rodents, mice are nocturnal. They are most active when you are asleep.

If you think you have a mouse problem, look for gnawed holes, rub marks on your baseboards and counters, and eaten food.

Why You Might Have Mice

Like all rodents, mice need warmth, food, and water. They are so small that it is extremely easy for them to find their way into your home. They especially prefer a relatively quiet and undisturbed location to make their nests such as a crawl space, basement, or even in the walls or ceiling.

Mice can enter your home all year round regardless of the weather but, as the weather begins to get colder, they can be an extreme nuisance. Mice will eat almost anything so making sure all of your food is in sealed containers is the first step in mouse control.

Reasons to Treat Your Mouse Problem Immediately

Mice reproduce very quickly. What seems like a small problem can get out of control fast since mice can cause major damage to your home’s structure and furnishings.

Mice are prone to spreading disease such as rabies, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, leptospirosis, and salmonella. Mice typically carry fleas or other pests on them that may also spread their own diseases.

For you and your family’s safety, you need to evict mice from your home quickly and efficiently. You can purchase your own traps, but nothing is as efficient or effective as professional mice extermination.
