Need to Get Rid of Mice? Call Pro Pacific Pest Control

From time to time, many people will deal with an infestation of mice in their home, with the area of San Diego being no exception. The tiny creatures squeeze through thin gaps or openings in the outside of a home in search of tiny crumbs of food or a warm dry place to live. Mice can damage property, create a huge mess with their feces and urine, and spread hantavirus and diseases.

Once inside your home, mice can take up residence in kitchen cabinets, or more commonly in the void between walls. You may hear the pitter patter of tiny mice feet or the sound of scratching inside your walls or ceilings, particularly at night when the nocturnal animals are most active.

Common Types of Mice

The house mouse is the most common mouse found in homes not only in San Diego, Riverside, and Orange County, but throughout the world. The mouse is very prolific, giving birth to between 35 and 40 young per year. At that rate, you can see how quickly a house mouse infestation can get out of hand.

The house mouse is also an excellent climber and jumper. The most common signs of the house mouse are his fecal droppings, which are small, dark brown pellets and can collect at a rate of about 50 per day.

The house mouse is considered a vector of disease which is spread mostly through his urination and fecal droppings in human food sources. People who come into contact with mouse droppings or urine or are bitten by a contaminated mouse risk contracting a potentially serious disease or infection.

How Can I Get Rid of Mice?

Just like rats, the best way to control and remove mice inside your home is to use traps to catch them. Using poisoned bait to kill mice is not the best option, since that allows poisoned mice to crawl back to their nests inside your walls or attic to die. A dead mouse will begin to stink as it decomposes, may spread disease, and can be a challenging thing to find and remove from inside your walls or ceiling.
