Mice are widespread pest organisms, and one of the most common rodents to infest human buildings.
They commonly forage outdoors during the spring and summer, but retreat into buildings through the fall and winter to seek warmth and food.
They typically feed on unattended food, leftovers and garden produce.
Their foraging risks the contamination and degradation of food supplies, and can also spread other pests such as fleas, ticks and lice.

When infesting homes, house mice may pose a risk of damaging and compromising the structure of furniture and the building itself.
They gnaw various materials to file down their growing teeth and keep the length under control.
Common damage includes gnawed electrical wires, marks on wooden furniture and construction supporting elements, and textile damage.
