A mouse may look cute in a cartoon, but mice are a nuisance when they infiltrate your apartment, office building, restaurant and store. They are dirty and they can carry diseases.
Here are a few facts about mice:
- The house mouse is called Mus musculus and commonly found in residences and commercial buildings.
- There are many other varieties of mice including field, wood, spiny, zebra and dormouse.
- Mice are nocturnal meaning they come out at night seeking anything edible.
- They eat 15 to 20 times in 24 hours.
- The average mouse is one to seven inches long and weighs about a pound.
- The female mouse can have a litter of four to a dozen baby mice every month.
- Female mice build nests in dark places chewing up paper, wire, clothing and insulation.
- Storage rooms of food stores and restaurants are favorite nesting places since food is readily available.
- They can chew through bags.
- Their dried droppings can carry harmful pathogens causing disease.
Mice must be eradicated to keep your commercial property safe and clean.
