Why do I have a mouse infestation at home and how do I keep them away?

Before pulling out all the stops, you still need to make sure it’s really a mouse. Here are the most common clues:

  • Small black droppings  : similar to grains of rice, often near food sources.
  • Night noises  : scratching, squeaking, rapid movement in walls or ceilings.
  • Nests  : Made with paper, fabric, or other soft materials.
  • Teeth marks  : on electrical wires, furniture or packaging.
