\"\"<\/a>The house mouse<\/a> is a small furry creature that can live outdoors or indoors with great ease.\u00a0 Typically gray in color, the house mouse can be a bit darker, and is not limited to living in just homes.\u00a0 Restaurants, office buildings, subway stations, jails, hospitals, schools, etc. have all seen their share of these creepy critters running about report New Jersey pest control<\/a> experts.<\/p>\n

Mice will choose a place of residence based upon its ability to obtain three things\u2026food, water, and shelter.\u00a0 Mice can enter your home or business through tiny cracks or crevices that are \u00bc inch or larger.\u00a0 Garage doors, cables entering buildings, holes into the building, and vent screens also provide ample opportunity for mice to invade.\u00a0 Because they have an excellent ability to climb great distances, mice can easily enter your home through roof vents, soffits, and even dormant chimneys.<\/p>\n

Most of the time, unless an infestation is very bad, you won\u2019t see actual mice running amuck, but you will see the tell-tale signs of their existence.\u00a0 Mice tend to travel along the walls and will leave a trail of feces that look like small oval shaped black pellets.\u00a0 Always in need to scale down their front teeth, you will often see gnaw marks on wood posts, furniture or cabinets when mice are present.\u00a0 Outdoors, mice will build their nests in woodpiles, leaf piles, bricks, and stones.\u00a0 Indoors, mice will build their nests in well hidden out-of-the-way places such as behind appliances, behind or under kitchen cabinets, inside closets, or even in drawers that are not often used.<\/p>\n

Mice are scavengers and will eat most any type of food source that they can find.\u00a0 Crumbs on the floor or cabinet and uneaten wet or dry pet food are easy targets for these pesky critters.\u00a0 Boxed, bagged, and packaged food sources are no match for the massive strength of the teeth of mice.\u00a0 Once they find their food source, they will not hesitate to rip it open eating as it chooses, and contaminating everything in their path!<\/p>\n

You can prevent mice from entering your New Jersey home by hiring a licensed pest control expert.\u00a0 Allison Pest Control<\/a> offers rodent trapping, rodent monitoring and rodent exclusion services in Monmouth, Ocean, and Middlesex Counties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
