Mice Control & Mouse Traps
Ever heard the phrase as quiet as a mouse? It is because they are such small and sneaky pests that are very slender and about 1-3 inches long, excluding their tail. Their tail is as long as their head and body combined.
The color of their fur varies, but it is usually a light gray or brown. So these tiny creatures are almost easily camouflaged. No wonder they are hard to catch. You need effective mice control to get rid of these pesky pets.
A mouse will eat just about anything, but they prefer cereal grains, seeds, and sweets. These tiny creatures have a love for sweets and carbs. No wonder they are so fast, they are loaded full of energy. They also require very little water and obtain most of their water needs from their food.
If their living conditions are good (their water, food, and shelter) they can multiply rapidly. They sexually mature in two months and produce about eight litters in a one-year time span. Each litter contains about 4 to 7 pups.
House mice in the city spend nearly their entire lives inside building. A rural mouse may not only live inside, but be found in foundations, shrubbery, weeds, crawl spaces, basements, and garages. Mice are nibblers, but have two main meal times, just before dawn, and at dusk. They are most active at night, but can be seen occasionally during day hours.
