What Are Some Common Mice That Like To Hang Out Around Your Home or Business

The Deer Mouse

Color: Brown, with white feet and underbelly

Size: 5 to 8 inches long

Habits: The deer mouse prefers the outdoors.

Habitat: The deer mouse makes its home outdoors in sheltered areas such as hollow tree logs or piles of debris. On rare occasions the deer mouse comes indoors, it prefers undisturbed areas such as attics.

Threats: The deer mouse transmits the potentially fatal Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. The disease can be transmitted through contact with mouse carcasses, or by breathing in aerosolized urine droplets of infected deer mice.

Prevention: To keep mice and other rodents out, make sure all holes of larger diameter than a pencil are sealed. Mice can squeeze through spaces as small as a nickel. Seal any cracks and voids. Don’t overlook proper drainage at the foundation and always install gutters or diverts which will channel water away from the building. Use heavy gloves and protective breathing gear when working in an area populated by deer mice.

The House Mouse

The house mouse is the most common rodent pest in most parts of the world. It can breed rapidly and adapt quickly to changing conditions.

Color: Light brown to black

Size: 2″

Habits: House mice can breed throughout the year and can share nests.

Habitat: House mice live in structures, but they can live outdoors. Threats: Micro droplets of mouse urine can cause allergies in children. Mice can also bring fleas, mites, ticks, and lice into your home.
