Mouse hole in cardboard

If you’re reading this article, you must have mice! Sorry to hear that – mice leave drops of urine in their trail and can carry fleas, mites, ticks and lice with them! They also spread bacteria like salmonella. Mice are very resourceful and can squeeze through openings as small as a nickel! They look for warm places to stay in the winter. You may not have even noticed them at first. A small problem can turn into a big issue overnight since they reproduce quickly. A female house mouse can have 6 babies every 3 weeks!
