Mice Extermination in Albany, NY & VT

These small slender rodents can fit into a hole the size of a dime. They have poor vision and are color blind, but their sense of smell, taste, touch and hearing are excellent. They are also good climbers, with inquisitive feeding habits and the ability to swim. Because their teeth constantly grow, their gnawing habits can cause a lot of damage. In fact, mice have even been known to start fires by chewing through electrical wires.

Mice also have the potential to transport ticks and diseases, including plague and the hantavirus, which attacks the lungs and kidneys. In addition, the average mouse will produce as many as 100 droppings per day, and urinate just as frequently, the latter of which contains allergens that can cause asthma and sinus inflammation.

A mature female mouse will birth 5 to 10 litters per year, each with approximately 10 mice, meaning a single mouse can produce 50-100 mice in a year. With year-round breeding and a gestation period of only 20 days, you can see how a small mouse problem can get out of control very quickly. If left untreated, it’s not uncommon for our mice exterminators to find entire attics and crawlspaces completely infested with mice, and contaminated with their droppings and urine. In many cases, a full attic cleanout is in order.
