Mice: signs and sensible next steps.
Small signs can point to hidden entry gaps.
What to look for
Watch for gnaw marks, droppings, damaged food packages, and scratching. Signs alone may not distinguish mice from other rodents.
What you can do today
Store food securely, reduce clutter, and inspect door sweeps and utility openings. Ask a professional about appropriate exclusion.
When to ask a professional
Repeated signs or activity around food storage merit prompt attention. Do not sweep or vacuum dry droppings; consult CDC cleanup guidance.
Before you call
Write down when the issue began, where you see signs, and any steps already taken. Have photos and your ZIP code ready. Ask whether the provider handles this pest and property type, and request clear pricing and follow-up terms.
