Many NJ homeowners turn to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/rodent-control\/mouse-rat.php\" target=\"_blank\">pest control companies in Freehold<\/a> for help getting rid of these rodents. Ever wonder how mice are able to fit through these small gaps? Here\u2019s how they do it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tiny Bodies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mice are even smaller than they look. Their fur makes them seem bigger than they really are, which helps explain why they can squeeze through small areas. If you see a mouse, imagine how it would look without its fur. You\u2019d be surprised at just how small and skinny they really are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strong Legs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pestworld.org\/videos\/ask-the-pro\/ask-the-pest-professor-how-do-mice-fit-into-such-small-spaces\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mice<\/a> rely on their leg muscles to push them through gaps and cracks. Despite their small size, mice are known for having powerful leg muscles, which makes it easy for them to get into the smallest of spaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No Collarbone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mice don\u2019t have collarbones, which provides them with a convenient way to squeeze through openings. As long as their head is able to fit through a gap, they usually don\u2019t have any trouble getting the rest of their body through. This is why <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2016\/10\/12\/dealing-with-nj-rodents-part-one\/\" target=\"_blank\">mice<\/a> are able to enter through tiny gaps around doors and windows or small cracks in walls.<\/p>\n<p>If mice are scurrying around your home, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\">Allison Pest Control<\/a> can help.
