High Threat Season: Year-round (worst in fall/winter)
House Mouse & Deer Mouse
MICE
Mice enter Minnesota homes as temperatures drop. They chew wiring, contaminate food, and can carry hantavirus and salmonella.
SIGNS OF INFESTATION
- Droppings along walls, in cabinets, or near food
- Gnaw marks on food packaging or wood
- Nesting material (shredded paper, fabric) in hidden areas
- Scratching sounds in walls at night
FAST FACTS
A mouse can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime.
They reproduce rapidly — one pair can produce 60+ offspring per year.
Mice are colorblind and rely heavily on smell and touch.
They rarely travel more than 30 feet from their nest.
PREVENTION TIPS
- Seal all entry points — gaps around pipes, vents, and foundations.
- Store food in airtight containers.
- Keep clutter minimal in basements and garages.
- Check for gaps under doors and install door sweeps.
