Mice are small and can quickly go unnoticed, but they can cause significant damage to your property and pose health risks. To effectively address a mouse infestation, it is essential to recognize the signs of an infestation early on. Here are some signs that you may have a mouse infestation:
Often found near food sources of hidden corners, mouse droppings have pointed ends and are ¼” or less in length, soft, and dark in color when fresh. Cockroach droppings can often be mistaken for mouse droppings, so it’s best to have them identified by a professional. Spotting these droppings is a clear sign that you should get professional pest control for mice.
Mice have strong teeth and can chew through almost anything, including wood, plastic, and electrical wires. You may have a mouse infestation if you find gnaw marks on food packaging, furniture, or other items.
Mice build nests using paper, fabric, and insulation. If you find shredded material in your home, it could be a sign of a mouse infestation.
Mice are active at night and may make scratching or squeaking noises as they move around your home.
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to take action right away to prevent the mouse infestation from getting worse. Contact Ehrlich today for professional mouse control services.

Below are the most common mice found in homes.
The house mouse is the most common rodent found in homes and businesses. These small, agile pests reproduce quickly and are known for contaminating food with urine and droppings. House mice tend to scurry along baseboards and can fit through openings as small as a dime.
The deer mouse is often found in rural and semi-rural areas. Unlike the house mouse, deer mice are known carriers of diseases like hantavirus. Their nests are commonly found in attics, garages, and sheds, making local pest control crucial for homes at risk.
Similar to the deer mouse, the white-footed mouse prefers wooded areas but can also invade homes. These rodents are nocturnal and known for chewing through insulation and electrical wiring. This increases fire risks. Professional mice exterminator services can help eliminate infestations effectively.
If you're dealing with an infestation, prompt mouse removal is necessary. Here are some effective ways to eliminate mice from your property:

Preventing mice from entering your home or business is the best way to avoid a mouse infestation. Here are a few steps you can take to keep your home mice-free.
Mice typically live in or near their food source, so if you spot a mouse, it likely means their nest is nearby. To locate a mouse nest in your home, check for areas that are undisturbed or near heat sources. These areas can be behind your refrigerator, under the stove, or around the oven box, in the pantry, or in a closet.
They can also live in attics, basements, and crawl spaces and have even been found behind water heaters. You can look for shredded materials like paper, insulation, or fabric, and listen for faint scratching sounds.
Many homeowners attempt DIY mice control, but professional mice exterminator services are often more effective. Here’s why:
If you want to eliminate rodents for good, professional mice control services are the best solution.
Mice may appear harmless due to their size, but they can create considerable dangers to your health and property. Mice can contaminate food and surfaces with feces, urine, and shed hairs, potentially causing illnesses.
Additionally, mice can cause damage to property by chewing on wires, insulation, and building materials. If you suspect a mouse problem, it’s best to address it promptly and contact a professional for mice removal and prevention. Ehrlich technicians are trained and certified to provide effective mice control.
