If you hear scratching noises coming from your walls, you probably have a mouse problem. There are times when other wildlife will scratch as well, but mice are usually the culprits. When large numbers of mice are present, you might hear squeaks, scrambling, or gnawing sounds.

When it comes to mouse prevention, there are a few things to keep in mind. Even though a good sanitation routine will not prevent all mice from entering your home, a bad sanitation routine will certainly attract them. After you finish eating, be sure to put food back where it belongs. If you leave food out, mice will eat it. Check the foundation of your home regularly for cracks and crevices. Even a crack the size of a dime can fit a mouse, so even a seemingly small crack can be large enough.

You may have a mouse infestation in your home if you hear scratching at night, see holes chewed in the drywall, or find droppings as large as a grain of rice. It is possible to handle a small infestation on your own, but mice reproduce quickly, so you may soon have a large infestation that will require a mouse exterminator.

The cost of hiring a pest control company might be higher than getting rid of mice on your own, but you can be sure the technicians will eliminate your mice problem in a timely manner. Schedule an inspection with a pest control company so a technician can come to your home to assess the issue and provide you with an estimate for treatment.

These highly adaptable rodents are the most common species found inside homes. House mice adapt easily and breed quickly with each female producing up to 35 babies in a single year. They tend to nest in dark places and will create their nests with anything they can find, including paper, wall insulation, fabric, and other materials. These pests can contaminate food, chew through electrical wiring, and carry salmonella, plague, tapeworm, and other pathogens.

Careful sanitation can help reduce house mice, including:

Deer mice are most commonly found in rural areas, farms, sheds, and homes near wooded areas. They often enter the home, shed, or garage seeking shelter from cold weather and may nest in attics and basements. To keep them away, follow the same steps as you would for house mice and cut branches back away from the house, and inspect the basement for signs of a problem.

This type of mouse is known to carry hantavirus, which can spread to people when dust particles are inhaled or you come in contact with saliva, urine, or feces from these mice. If you notice signs of deer mice, call for an inspection.

These rats share several similarities to Norway rats, including gnawing, property damage, food contamination, and disease transmission. These rats are nocturnal and generally nest in higher areas, such as trees or attics. If you notice rat droppings, signs of gnawing, or greasy marks left behind by their oily fur, you may have a rat infestation.

We encourage you to contact us for rodent control in the Boston area when you first notice signs of a potential infestation or see rodents in your home. We can inspect your home to find their nests and how they are entering your home. In addition to removing the rodents, we can advise you about how to prevent new infestations.
