Deer mice are dangerous to have living inside your home around you and your family. Not only will they contaminate your family’s food sources and food prep areas with their saliva, urine and feces, they can transmit serious diseases. Deer mice are primary carriers of the very serious Hantavirus which causes Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS).
Why do I have a deer mice problem?
Deer mice invade homes and properties that offer them easy access to their basic needs- food, water, and of course warm safe shelter. Deer mice are typically live outside and don’t usually invade the inside of homes; however they can be found invading homes located in communities that border a field, park, golf course, or that are located very rurally.
