Mice Control Services for Cape Cod & Plymouth County
Mice are among the most common and destructive rodents in the world. The house mouse is very common around populated areas and can frequently be found in homes or businesses (hence the name). Their habit of foraging for food indoors makes them particularly unpleasant pests. In addition to contamination, they gnaw on everything in sight, which helps contribute to the high amounts of damage they can inflict on a home.
House mice, as the name indicates, will commonly nest in or near human-made structures. Especially inviting are occupied buildings: warmth, protection from the elements, and a steady supply of food and water are all a mouse wants to make a home. This is especially true in the cooler months when occupied buildings are some of the only warm spaces available. A house mouse will typically find an out-of-sight place to make a home: usually a low- or no-traffic area of the home’s interior.
Expert Tips On Mice
Once a nest has been 
established, house mice will tend to remain within 10-30 feet of it. This doesn’t sound like much, but 30 feet indoors probably encompasses several rooms of your home, and more than two stories of vertical space.
- Due to the fact that mice are adept climbers and are able to squeeze through very small gaps, complete prevention is very hard to accomplish.
- Since mice don’t venture far from their nest once it’s established, they know their territory very well. So new things, like traps, are very obvious to a mouse and they will work to avoid the traps.
- House mice are quite small, weighing about half an ounce and growing to between 8 and 11 inches long, including their tails. They are capable climbers, and capable of squeezing through holes about the size of a dime. House mice fur is typically between light brown and black in color.
- Mice are generally not aggressive, mostly keeping to themselves and scavenging for food. The main reason they inflict so much damage to buildings is because of the rapid growth of their teeth. Their teeth grow quickly, and the length needs to be managed. Mice gnaw constantly in order to accomplish this-- and cause damage to many things in their surroundings as a result.
Fortunately, house mice are not very sneaky, and so are easily spotted. If you discover (or suspect) house mice in your home, call A&M Pest Control to have thorough, professional eco-friendly mice removal.
