Damage caused by house mice


Since human provide them with food and water and shelter to reside they find it ideal to stay put and pillage whatever is available in the household. They can cause the following damages:


  • Gnaw and scratch household items that include home appliances, furniture, clothing, carpet, books, insulation, and drywall and any item that contains wood fiber and soft and spongy material. They will not hesitate to enter your sofa upholstery to find nest building material.  They won’t find any difference between freshly stitched clothing or the latest appliance you have invested on. This behavior is attributed to their teeth which keep growing and mice blunt them by gnawing, chewing and nibbling at things.
  • They will contaminate food articles and floor space of your home by urinating and droppings. Contamination by mice can infect residents with deadly diseases like Hantavirus, LCMV, plague, rat-bite-fever, salmonella and other equally deadly viruses.
  • House mice will steal food from storage containers, kitchen cabinets, and pantry areas where leftover food remains. They will also enter your attic and chew and bite on items that you have stored. If you have a barn they will storm the area and cut in to sacks or packages containing grains, nuts, seeds, and other edible items and in the process spill them all over the floor
  • They are fond of pet food and birdseeds for which they will tear open food boxes and eat from pet bowls
  • They will cause fire accident by slicing through live wire and short circuiting them. They will not spare electric panels, switches and wiring. Mice will chew insulation in walls and attics. When they find a small hole on the wall or narrowest wall void they will enter in to them and enlarge the space by digging through masonry. They will build nests in air ducts, attics, roof, and walls, behind cabinets, in the wardrobe and in unfrequented places.
