Seeing one mouse might not seem like a major issue, but mice reproduce incredibly quickly, and you could soon find yourself with more mice on your property. Female mice can have between 5 to 10 litters a year, producing as many as 60 babies. These young will very quickly reach sexual maturity, usually at just 6 to 8 weeks old, so what starts as a single sighting can quickly turn into a major mouse problem.

Signs Of Mice
Similar to rats, it’s fairly straightforward to spot a mouse infestation, as you will usually see mice scurrying around. Since mice are nocturnal, you’re more likely to see them in the evening. If you spot mice in the daytime, this may indicate a heavy infestation.
Just because you haven’t seen mice doesn’t mean they’re not there. Other common signs that you may have a mouse infestation are:
- Mouse Nests: Mice build nests that are usually made out of shredded materials and are most commonly found in places such as lofts, cavity walls, suspended ceilings, and in enclosed spaces such as behind appliances, under the kitchen sink or beneath furniture.
- Footprints: Mouse footprints tend to appear in dustier areas but often won’t be spotted other than by a professional, as they’re small and can be difficult to see.
- Dead Mice: If you see a dead mouse, then that’s a sign that there are living mice elsewhere in your home. Dead rodents are a common sign that the infestation is growing, so you need to act fast.
- Grease Marks: Smears of grease are caused by mice rubbing up against skirting boards, walls and floors. Oily deposits from their fur are left on surfaces as they continually pass over them.
- Mouse Droppings: Mice droppings are typically small (around 3-8mm) and dark. Mice produce up to 80 droppings a day, so there can be large amounts.
- A Strong Smell Of Ammonia: Mice tend to urinate often, and their urine comes with a strong ammonia-like smell.
- Scratching Noises: Because of their sharp claws, mice often make scratching noises when scurrying around. You’ll likely hear them more clearly in the early evening or at night.
- Chew Marks: To make entry points larger or to keep their teeth down, mice chew almost constantly, so you’ll soon see tooth marks throughout your property.
If you’ve spotted one or more of the above signs, then you may have a mouse infestation on your hands. Contact us to start your mouse control treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Mice usually go inside homes or business premises looking for shelter and food. If they find a reputable food source, they’ll keep coming back for more. So, the easiest way to prevent mice is to store food in airtight containers and to fill in any holes in your roof or walls that make it easy for mice to enter.
Mice carry many diseases, including Hantavirus, Salmonella, Leptospirosis and many more. Also, they can contaminate food, so it’s important that you get rid of mice as quickly as possible to protect yourself, your family or customers.
To keep mice away, you need to make sure you use professional pest control services. While some DIY solutions, such as essential oils, wire wool and other repellents, might get rid of one or two mice, they’re not a long term solution. Instead, you need to make sure you work with experts like Invicta to rodent proof your space.
The most effective way to control mice is to contact the experts at Invicta. Our team has extensive experience in mouse removal, so we can quickly get rid of your mouse problem and stop these pesky rodents from returning.
