Mouse
Mice are small rodents that are highly adaptable and often invade homes seeking food, warmth, and shelter. These pests are prolific breeders and can quickly cause infestations if not addressed. They are most commonly found in kitchens, basements, attics, and walls.
Signs
Sounds: Soft scratching, gnawing, or scurrying noises in walls, ceilings, or under floors, especially at night.
Droppings: Small, pellet-shaped droppings near food sources, in cupboards, or along walls.
Gnaw Marks: Chewed food packaging, wires, or furniture edges.
Tracks: Small footprints or tail marks in dusty areas.
Odor: A musky, ammonia-like smell from their droppings and urine.
Nuisances
Contamination of food and surfaces with droppings and urine.
Chewing through wires, insulation, and other materials, potentially causing fire hazards.
Creating nests in hidden areas using household materials.
Common Issues
