Mice are sneaky animals; they may have already spread their damage or contamination of your home before you might notice their presence. Early discovery is the start of management for a mice infestation before it could get out of hand. Other than the droppings and the gnaw marks, other evidence can point to mice infestation. Such things would include the presence of nests. Mice, of course usually do nests out of shredded paper or fabrics or even insulation materials. If these nests are small, they are carefully constructed, and they are hidden in your basement's dark corners, at the back of appliances or behind furniture in your attic, then it is obvious mice made themselves homes in your house.
Another common sign of activity by mice is urine odor. Mice use urine to identify their territory, and a musty or pungent smell may indicate where their droppings and urine are coming from. Sometimes, this smell cannot be removed unless you clean the mice out properly. So if you find an unusual odor, then it's an indication that mice are hiding within your walls, on your ceilings, or hiding behind furniture.
Finally, signs of food contamination such as missing or chewed packages can be another indicator that mice are in the vicinity. If you’ve noticed that food in your pantry has been chewed or that you’re missing items from your kitchen, it's time to consider that mice may be the culprits. Once any of these signs are identified, you should call a professional mouse removal service to evaluate the situation in order not to cause further damages or health complications.
