2. Mice may be cute when they’re kept as pests but wild mice can be dangerous and can very easily spread disease. For this reason, you certainly don’t want to treat it lightly if you happen to find a mouse in your home. They not only cause all manner of problems but they can multiply if left to their own devices. To help you spot if you have one or more mice in your home, below are 5 key ways to spot them. 1. Unexplained food debris The main reason that mice are attracted to a home in the first place is because there is food available. Given their small size, mice can feast on crumbs quite easily. They don’t stop at eating what’s readily available; they’ll also chew their way through food containers such as dog food pouches. If you notice any food containers that are inexplicably damaged and have food debris around them, there’s a good chance a mouse if the culprit! 2. Unusual noises Often the first sign that alerts people to the presence a mouse in their home is a scratching sound or pitter-patter at night. Mice tend to be very cunning, so they won’t do anything unnecessary to alert you to their presence, so you’ll often only hear these sounds at night.

3. If you do notice sounds, try to figure out where they’re coming from and keep a close eye on this area. You might also want to set up traps where you here the sound coming from. 3. Nesting debris Mice will naturally look for the most comfortable spot where they can sleep and give birth to their young. A very common place for them to nest is in areas with insulation. If you notice insulation material has been mysteriously ripped out then there’s a good chance there’s a mouse nearby. 4. Droppings Mice tend to leave their droppings everywhere, and particular where they eat and sleep. Although they’re not very big, you can still spot mice droppings if you look carefully. Something that’s not as easy to spot is their urine. In order to see it, you’d need a black light – this might be worth investing in since many home owners would be horrified to discover just how much urine could be on food preparation areas. 5. Traffic patterns Because they’re very vulnerable to larger predators, such as cats, mice tend to hug walls when they move around. Often, people will notice mice in their home, scurrying along the edges of walls.

4. Getting rid of them If you have a mouse (or mice) in your home, there are a few ways to get rid of them. The most obvious way is to set up mouse traps that are loaded with bait. The trick to using mouse traps effectively is to use enough of them and make sure they’re put in the right places. Alternatively, for larger infestations, it might be a good idea to hire a professional pest control company to deal with the problem for you. Document Published By Europest Environment Services UK
