Mice might seem small and cute, but they are far from harmless when it comes to your home. Fortunately, a diligent homeowner can catch onto signs of an issue and call for mouse control before the rodents have a chance to cause serious damage. Below are a few signs there are mice hiding in your home.

3 Signs You Need Mouse Control Service

1. Electrical Issues

Mice will chew on pretty much anything they can access. If they can get to your wiring, they can cause your electrical equipment to fail or even create fire risks. In some cases, they’ll even burrow into your appliances, so watch for electrical issues with specific devices. When troubleshooting problematic electronics, check the cords for tiny bite marks or areas where the rubber coating has been chewed through.

2. Holes in Soft Items

Soft items like insulation, upholstered furniture, and clothing are attractive to mice. They might chew through it or set up nests inside. Even if you don’t spot mice in your insulation or furniture, look out for small holes in any of these items. 

3. Droppings Left Around Your Home

As mice eat through your insulation and belongings, they will leave some droppings throughout your house. These droppings will not damage your home permanently; however, they can carry diseases. Keep an eye out for any small pellets, especially around your kitchen, dining room, or pantry.
