Active all year round, mice are one of the most common pest species. They spread nasty diseases such as Salmonella and Listeria to humans through their urine, droppings and bedding. As they scamper around, they carry dirt and bacteria with them, moving it to your counter tops, cabinets and pantry. House mice are known as commensal rodents, they like to live in close proximity to humans. Mice are naturally inquisitive and can squeeze through cracks as small as 5mm, to search for food and shelter. Mice are actually colour blind, but have serious sense of hearing, frequently using ultrasound to communicate. Their presence is usually detected by feces (80 per day), the strong smell of ammonia from their urine, smear marks, nests, damage to stored food and gnaw marks.
