Few people want even one mouse living in their houses. Unfortunately, the house mouse is a common problem for many.
These pests can cause many problems such as these listed on the UC ANR catalog website:
“The house mouse is one of the most troublesome rodents in the United States. They thrive under a variety of conditions; are found in and around homes and commercial structures as well as in open fields and agricultural lands. House mice consume and contaminate food meant for humans, pets, livestock, or other animals. In addition, they cause considerable damage to structures and property, and they can transmit pathogens that cause diseases such as salmonellosis, a form of food poisoning.”
