How do I know if I have a mouse problem?

Identifying a mouse problem as early as possible is always important. The more established an infestation gets, the more complex it becomes to remove them.

To help you identify whether you have a problem with mice, we have compiled a list of tell-tale signs that can help you quickly tell whether mice are the culprits.

Noise – One of the first signs that many people notice is noise. Scratching, gnawing, and scurrying sounds can all signify a mouse infestation.

Droppings – With each mouse capable of leaving 80 droppings per day, this is another common first sign. Mouse droppings are about the size of a grain of rice and, if fresh, will be moist and soft.

Smell – Mice also urinate frequently, and this can cause a strong smell of ammonia.

Smear Marks – The grease from mouse fur rubs off and can stain surfaces. This can also be a sign of entry and exit points.

Damage – Gnaw marks are another giveaway. Look for damage to foodstuffs and materials such as electrical cabling, carpets, wood, and furnishings.

Identifying Mice

Mice are elusive, but especially in larger infestations, sightings do occur. To help you properly identify an infestation, here are some pointers about their appearance and habits.

Mouse Appearance

The most common type of mouse behind most infestations in Ireland is the common house mouse. These have the following appearance:

Weight – Adults weigh from 12g to 30g
Size – From 7cm to 9cm in length, not including the tail. The tail is normally about the same length
Colour – Brown to grey fur with a paler underbelly

Adult mice and young brown rats are often confused. The major difference is in the large eyes and relatively small head and feet of a house mouse.

Mouse Behaviour Patterns and Life Cycle

Understanding some of the behaviour patterns and the life cycle of mice can help with identifying an infestation.

Seasons – Although mice infestations are more frequent in winter, they are by no means restricted to the winter months. Mice look for shelter, food, and warmth in the winter, which is why infestations are more prevalent.
Senses – Mice have poor eyesight but an extremely acute sense of smell and hearing.
Activity – Mice are mainly nocturnal but highly active when awake. A single mouse can make up to 30 visits to various food sources throughout a single night.
Breeding – Mice breed prolifically, which is why a quick solution should always be sought. Mice become sexually mature at about two months old. They can produce a litter of about 4 to 7 young every 40 to 50 days.
Lifespan – Mice live for around a year.

Action should be taken at the first sign of mice on your premises. Call us today for a fast, efficient, and discrete solution to your mouse infestation.

Preventing an Infestation of Mice

It is possible to reduce the chances of a mouse infestation by following a few simple hints and tips:

Seal any cracks and openings that can allow access. (Mice can squeeze through the smallest of spaces – be vigilant!)
Keep bins sealed
Keep foodstuffs that may attract them in sealed containers
Don’t leave uneaten pet food lying around
Keep gardens clear of berries and fruit, also keep compost bins sealed
