Signs That Mice Are Present In Your Home
Unwanted mouse visitors can cause damage to your property and spread diseases like salmonella, so it’s important to take action quickly if you see any of the following telltale signs:
1. Droppings
Mice tend to leave small droppings wherever they travel, especially near food sources. Look for small black or brown pellets that resemble grains of rice or small beans. Rodent control services can help identify the droppings’ size, shape, and color to identify the species.
2. Gnaw Marks
Mice must constantly chew and gnaw on objects, usually favoring wood and other materials found around the home, including furniture, walls and skirting boards.
3. Strange Noises
Rodents are most active at night, so it’s possible to hear mice scurrying in the walls or running around inside cupboards and air vents.
4. Burrows
Mice love to build nests and burrow them into soft materials like insulation, fabric, paper, and cardboard boxes. Check for holes from chewed-up material in your home’s insulation, closets, basements, or attics.
5. Unusual Smells
Mice leave behind a strong musky smell that can be hard to miss when they’ve been visiting your home for some time. The slightest whiff of this unpleasant odor should alert you of their presence.
How Much Is Pest Control For Mice?
The cost of pest control services for mice depends on the type and severity of the infestation. Hiring an exterminator typically costs between $150 and $400 for a basic mouse problem. Common household pests like ants, roaches, and flies can be treated with DIY methods that cost anywhere from $5 to $60. This will cover a one-time visit from the exterminator, plus any traps or other materials needed to remove the mice from your home. If you have a more severe problem, the cost could be higher. Pest control companies can also provide longer-term solutions, such as preventative measures, to help keep future infestations from occurring.
