Understanding Mouse Infestations
House mice are small rodents that can cause significant damage to homes and pose health risks through contamination. They're excellent climbers and can squeeze through very small openings, making early identification essential.
How to Identify Mice
Adult house mice are small (2.5 to 3.5 inches body length) with large ears, pointed snouts, and long tails. They're typically light brown to gray with lighter underbellies.

What are mice?
Mice are a type of rodent and a common invader of both homes and businesses. They have come to at least partially depend on people for their survival. They are small mammals and have an oval-shaped body covered in light brown or gray fur and a lighter colored underbelly. Their tail has a light layer of fur covering it and is about the same length or longer than the body. They have a pointed nose and small ears. Like any species of rodent, they also have front incisors that continuously grow throughout their life.
Are mice dangerous?
Mice are unwelcome and dangerous pests. They spread diseases, transport parasites, contaminate food, and trigger allergies. Their insistent chewing to stop their teeth from overgrowing causes structural damage, damage to personal items, and pose a risk of fire.
Why do I have a mouse problem?
House mice are prolific breeders and are nocturnal, staying out of sight of people, making them a difficult pest to control. As our habitats have merged together, more and more mice have taken up residence on properties near our homes and in our own yards. Our company offers reliable and effective pest control in Tracy, CA to get rid of mice. Mice are attracted to any yard or home that provides them with their basic needs of food, water, and shelter.
Where will I find mice?
In nature, mice live in fields, parks, wooded areas, and our yards. Mice typically live outside but find their way indoors while foraging for food. They can move inside any time of the year, although they tend to move in when the weather outside becomes cooler. Indoor nesting spots for mice include wall voids, behind large appliances, crawlspaces, attics, and basements.
