Although they are small, mice can cause a tremendous amount of damage to a home or business if not quickly and professionally dealt with. If you have seen, heard, or even smelled the presence of mice on your property in The Villages, then you must act fast. After all, the longer mice are allowed to nest in a home or place of business, the harder they are to remove. If you notice any of the following signs of a mouse infestation, contact Critter Control® of The Villages to permanently handle the problem.
4 Signs of a Mouse Infestation
Mice can gain entry into your property by burrowing, chewing, and squeezing through the tiniest of openings in your property’s roofing or foundation. A few red flags that could indicate you’re dealing with an invasion of mice include:
- Chew marks on drywall, molding, or cereal boxes and other cardboard
- Scurrying sounds coming from your walls and attic in the middle of the night
- Small stains or droppings along floorboards, in the attic, or inside your kitchen pantry
- A very strong, musky smell of urine that is similar to ammonia
6 Dangers of a Mouse Infestation in Your Home
A significant portion of property damage caused by mice is a result of their incessant chewing, as mice must gnaw and chew on hard materials to dull their constantly growing teeth.
Other forms of destruction caused by mice include:
- Soiled attic insulation
- Cable and wiring damage
- Holes burrowed in your stone foundation
- Toxic smell of urine and feces
- Contaminated food
- Gnawed drywall and wooden structures
Mice can also be a health hazard to you, your pets, and your loved ones as they are common hosts to a number of infectious diseases such as hantavirus or leptospirosis.
