Many people have seen mice scurry across their rooms. They might even hear little footsteps running around in their attic at night. These occurrences are a bit unsettling, but not as troubling as what could be happening out of sight. Mice are a common rodent to see in your house, but just because they’re common doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t do anything about them.

Mice, much like bed bugs, termites, and cockroaches, are pests. If they aren’t controlled relatively quickly after your first mouse sighting, you could learn the hard way what an infestation truly looks like.

What You Need to Know

It is possible that you could only have a few mice in your house. After you see your first mouse, make sure to place a few mouse traps around to try to lure them in. If you get one, put the trap out again, and repeat the process. If you find the trap to always have a mouse trapped, it is highly likely that you have a mouse infestation.

Mouse infestations can get out of control pretty quickly. One mouse can give birth to up to 60 mice every year, each of which can produce 750 droppings a month — that’s 9,000 a year! These pests can live in your walls and attics, eventually moving to places in the house with higher traffic, like the kitchen or the bathroom.

When mice infest these high traffic areas, you will quickly be exposed to certain health risks such as lymphocytic choriomeningitis, dysentery, and food contamination. They can even be carrying other parasites, like fleas, making your infestation that much worse. What’s more, they may also be chewing through electrical wires in your wall, making the chances for electrical fire very high.
