What Other Damage Can Field Mice Cause?

Damage to:

ducting and or insulation
electrical wiring and plumbing in and around structures
can also infest furniture and automobiles
anywhere a safe and quiet, harborage can be found
Signs of a Field Mice Problem:
Noises at night are a sure sign
Foraging and building of nests at night is a common habit of most rodents
Droppings and urine stain in attic and crawlspace insulation as well as smudges caused by rats and mice entering in and out of an opening consistently
Their fur is rather oily and that oil rubs off when they come in and out of the same opening, eventually leaving a dark colored smudge
One of the best indicators of a rat and/or mouse infestation is noise
Scratching, clawing sounds in the late evening and early morning hours. Often times customers hear noises coming from the heat ducting that runs underneath or above the structure
Both rats and mice tend to make nests in the insulation around the ducting and the floor registers because that area tends to be warmed by the heat from the furnace. Household pets will scratch, stare and sit by floor registers because they can hear the rodent activity. When a pet begins to do this it is a good sign that something is wrong.
What Happens If Mice Are Left Untreated?

An untreated mouse problem can escalate quickly—especially in Western Washington. Rodents adapt easily to living around people, and once inside, they can damage insulation, wiring, drywall, and structural components as they nest and constantly chew to control their growing teeth. Infestations often worsen during colder, wetter months, when mice seek warmth and shelter indoors. With plenty of available food sources, they’re quick to settle in and stay. Over time, they establish regular paths through walls, crawlspaces, and attics, spreading contamination and making the issue harder to eliminate. Classic Pest Control & Insulation helps stop rodent activity early and prevent it from becoming a long-term, costly problem.

Common Field Mice Habits:

Field mice are not the climbers that House Mice are. They have blunt noses, furry ears and shorter, stubbier tales. They are not found inside as commonly as house mice and are easier to control in most cases. Usually they are found on the first story of structures.

Tips From A Pest Control Expert:

Bird feeders and pet food left outside are a magnet for these animals. A strong rodent control program needs to incorporate the following: Thorough inspection to determine the type of rodent that is being addressed. Finding and sealing the holes that rodents are using to enter the structure. The use of bait and traps and other applicable rodent control measures. Continuous monitoring of the baiting, trapping and other measures installed, as a deceased rodent is still a possible food source and source of unpleasant odor withing the structure. Finally, identify and address the conditions that led to the infestation. There are also possible concerns to humans concerning living conditions.
