Facts: House Mouse
Name:
Mus musculus
Appearance: The typical house mouse is generally grey or brown in color, and around 3 to 4 inches in length. They can be identified by their large ears and tiny eyes.
Habit and Habitat: Mice generally nests in burrows, but the house mouse is fond of living indoors and can often be found invading kitchens, basements and crawlspaces. They will often create their nesting sites within 30 feet of a food and water source. Mice are excellent climbers and can fit through holes smaller than ΒΌ inch, making their way into tight spaces like wall voids and under doorways that are not properly sealed.
Diet: Scavenger-like diet with a preference from grains, nuts, and cereal products.
Reproduction: Mice are notorious for being frequent breeders. New born females reach sexual maturity within two months, and can have 5 to 7 young every 45 days. This makes them difficult to control without the help of a trained professional. Adult mice can live up to a year.
