Get rid of mice!
Mice:
The house mouse is a small, adaptable rodent commonly found in homes, farms, and businesses worldwide. Known for their slender bodies, grayish-brown fur, and long tails, they are nocturnal and highly curious. House mice thrive in close proximity to humans, feeding on grains, seeds, and scraps while nesting in walls, subfloors, storage areas, and other hidden spaces. They reproduce rapidly, making them a significant pest capable of causing property damage and spreading diseases through their droppings, urine, and saliva.

Mice in Calgary: A Persistent Pest
Calgary, with its diverse environment and fluctuating temperatures, provides ideal conditions for mice to thrive. As temperatures drop in Calgary, mice seek warmer environments, food sources, and shelter, making them more likely to invade homes during the fall and winter months. These small rodents are a common nuisance for homeowners and businesses alike, causing significant damage and posing health risks.
Reproduction:
Mice are notorious for their rapid reproduction rates.
- Gestation Period: A female mouse can become pregnant every 20-24 days.
- Litter Size: Each litter typically consists of 4-7 pups.
- Maturity: Mice reach sexual maturity within 6-8 weeks of birth.
How Mice Get into Your Home:
Mice are incredibly agile and can squeeze through surprisingly small openings:
- Tiny Cracks and Crevices: Gaps around pipes, wires, and foundation cracks are common entry points.
- Openings Around Doors and Windows: Even small gaps around doors and windows can provide access.
- Unopened Doors and Windows: Leaving doors and windows, even for short periods, can allow mice to enter.
- Unsealed Chimneys and Vents: These openings offer easy access to attics and crawl spaces.
- Pet Doors: If not properly sealed, pet doors can become a major entry point for mice.
Why Mice Invade Homes:
- Food Sources: Kitchens and pantries are prime targets for mice seeking food scraps, crumbs, and pet food.
- Shelter and Warmth: Mice seek warm, sheltered places to nest, such as attics, basements, and wall voids.
- Water Sources: Leaky pipes, condensation, and even pet water bowls can provide a water source for mice.
Health Risks Associated with Mice:
- Disease Transmission: Mice can carry and transmit serious diseases such as hantavirus, salmonellosis, and leptospirosis.
- Food Contamination: Mice can contaminate food supplies with their droppings, urine, and fur.
- Property Damage: Mice can gnaw on electrical wires, causing fire hazards. They can also damage insulation, drywall, and furniture.
