House Mouse

The House Mouse is one of the most widely distributed and successful mammals in the world. 95% of all rodent activity in domestic dwellings is mice, not rats. Mice do not have bladders so they urinate anywhere at any time. They contaminate food and work surfaces transferring diseases and parasites to humans. They are frequently the source of fleas, lice and mites found in dwellings and workplaces. Mice do not need to drink water; they can squeeze through a gap the width of a pencil; are inquisitive; mainly active at night; are extremely agile and pretty much rely on humans for their entire existence. Fortunately, they are easily trapped.

Where are they found?

In association with humans wherever food and shelter are available.

In 95% of rodent infestation in homes, the intruder is a mouse, not a rat.
When in domestic houses, they are most commonly heard moving about in the loft or cavity walls.
There may be signs of them in the kitchen and particularly under the kitchen sink where pipes may enter the building.
The immersion heater / linen cupboard is a favorite nesting place, as is the loft or attic.
Frequently found in the garage and in out-houses (beware of damage to components in the car)
