droppings
The first sign of a mouse infestation is their droppings. Mice aren’t particular about where they leave their droppings, so they will appear anywhere the mice are hanging out, including the backside of drawers, inside pantries or cabinets, in basements or attic spaces, under water heaters or heating units, etc.

Mice are rodents, which means their teeth are constantly growing. They have a strong urge to chew things to wear down their teeth, including wood, cardboard, food containers, wires, or plastic.
understanding mice
- Mice are classified as rodents meaning that their front teeth (incisors) never stop growing.
- To keep their incisors trim, mice need to constantly chew on things. This could be brick, fabric, food or really anything around your property.
- In spite of food, these small critters will chew a hole straight through your wall if they need to.
- Holes as small as a nickel could be an entry point for mice, because they have the ability to squeeze their bodies into incredibly tight spaces. It’s important to get rid of mice before they can become established in your property.
- Once they get inside, there’s a risk of contracting diseases transmitted through mouse droppings or urine, bites, or tainted food such as:
- Hantavirus
- Salmonella
- Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV).
