Mice Behavior
Pet mice are one thing. Wild mice in your walls are another, and a common reason people call for rodent control. Mice come indoors looking for food, warmth and a protected place to raise their young, and a gap about 1/4 inch wide is enough for one to squeeze through. Inside, they build loose nests from shredded paper, fabric, string and insulation in quiet spots like wall voids, cabinets and stored boxes. Outdoors they live mostly on seeds, grains and insects. In a home they will eat almost any food they can reach. Mice get most of the water they need from what they eat, so they do not depend on a water source.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mice
How do I know if I have mice or rats?
Mouse droppings are small, about 1/4 inch and pointed. Rat droppings are larger, about 1/2 inch or more. Mice are also much smaller overall and can fit through openings the size of a dime.
Are mice dangerous?
Mice contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine, which can spread bacteria and trigger allergies. Their gnawing can also damage wiring. Clean up droppings carefully with gloves and a disinfectant, never by sweeping or vacuuming them dry.
Why do mice come inside?
Mice look for food, water and warm shelter, so activity indoors often increases in the cooler months. Pet food, birdseed and crumbs make a home especially attractive.
How does Florida Bug Control get rid of mice?
We find how the mice are getting in, remove the ones inside with traps or bait stations placed safely away from children and pets, and seal the entry points so new mice cannot follow. Call 1-855-624-2847.
