How Do I Know If I Have A Mouse In My House?
One of the main and most disturbing signs of rodents in your home or business is mouse droppings. At night they are often heard scurrying. It is very typical for mice to begin invading homes during the colder months. Rodents enjoy the comforts of shelter, warmth, and easy access to food and water. Mice and Rats will often find damaged food packaging. In addition, as they try to make the space more comfortable, they will destroy furniture and items that can be used as bedding. The crawlspace of a home is ground zero for a mouse invasion. It is common for them to follow water sources such as your plumbing pipes up into the subfloor and walls and then make their way into your home via tiny openings in your woodwork and cabinetry you may not even be aware are there.
