Are mice dangerous?

Mice are one of the most prolific and commonly encountered pests, and they are dangerous, especially in large numbers. Mice spread bacteria and pathogens as they scavenge around your property. The diseases mice carry include serious illnesses like hantavirus, leptospirosis, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis. These illnesses may be picked up from mouse droppings or urine, which have the potential to become airborne around your property, or you may encounter these pathogens via contaminated food or surfaces.

Additionally, mice carry parasitic pests in their fur, such as fleas, ticks, and mites. The more mice invading your property, the greater your chances of picking up a secondary infestation with its own health risks from these pests.

Professional mouse control services are essential to avoid these dangers.

Where will I find mice?

Mice are typically found hiding in dark or secluded areas. Outdoors, this may include long grass, piles of brush and debris, wood piles, and around trash cans or compost piles. If mice manage to infiltrate interior areas, they will often be seen in kitchens, at the backs of cabinets and pantries, or hiding in attics, basements, and even the space between walls.
