While mice may seem like docile and harmless critters, they can be terribly destructive if they find their way into your Amesbury home or business. Mice are a common nuisance that seek out residential and commercial areas because they provide safe, dry spaces with close access to food and water. While mice are tiny critters, their constant chewing makes them a big problem. Therefore, if you suspect your Amesbury property has a mouse issue, you’ll want the experts at Critter Control® of Boston on the job.
Common Signs of Mice
Just because mice are small doesn’t mean they will go unnoticed. There are a few telltale signs to watch out for if you think you have mice on your property, such as:
-
Gnaw Marks
Rodents’ teeth grow constantly, so mice must find ways to file them down. Look for gnaw marks on your baseboards, drywall, wooden furniture, electrical wiring, and on cardboard boxes in your attic or kitchen pantry.
-
Noises
Mice are nocturnal, meaning you’ll likely hear them at night. Listen for scratching noises or squeaks, especially around your walls or in storage areas like attics, basements or garages.
-
Kitchen Damage
Your kitchen is a primary source of food for mice, especially if it contains grains, cereals or nuts. Watch out for damage to food packaging, especially if it’s contained in a cardboard container. Such flimsy packaging is no match for a hungry mouse.
-
Droppings
Mice droppings are small, brown pellets that easily stick out. You’ll likely find mouse droppings around areas where food is stored. Also look out for dark stains and a strong ammonia smell coming from walls, attics, and storage spaces.
As soon as you notice any signs of mice, it’s time to call Critter Control® of Boston. The longer mice are left on your property, the more time they have to cause serious property damage and pose a health risk to you and your loved ones.
