Information About House Mouse
Locale On Property
Mice can fit through spaces much smaller than they appear (think the size of a dime). Holes and cracks in your foundation and outer walls are prime entry points, as are doorways and areas around windows, chimneys, roof vents, garages and wherever pipes and wires enter your home…
Once inside, mice build nests in hidden areas near food sources. Homeowners may also find them living in attics, wall voids, under cabinets or inside crawl spaces.
Description
House mice are small, slender rodents with a slightly pointed nose; small, black, somewhat protruding eyes;
large, sparsely haired ears; and a nearly hairless tail with obvious scale rings. House mice are grey-brown with a grey or buff-coloured belly. Mice breed year round if they have access to food. They will reproduce every three months. 3-4 litters per year, 5 to 8 pups per litter.
Concerns
They can make you very sick. While the common house mouse is not as dangerous to your health as a deer mouse, they can still spread disease, such as hantavirus, salmonellosis and listeria through their urine, droppings, saliva and nesting materials.
Mouse feces and urine can dry and turn to dust, spreading viruses through the air we breathe.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis.
Pneumocystis carinii infection.
Ringworm.
Salmonellosis.
Streptobacillus moniliformis infection.
