House mice are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of environments. They are primarily nocturnal, with a keen sense of hearing and smell.
They can be found in homes, buildings, and outdoor areas. House mice build nests in hidden, sheltered spaces using materials like paper, fabric, and insulation.
House mice can spread diseases like salmonella and hantavirus through their droppings and urine. They can also cause damage to property by gnawing on wires, furniture, and other materials.
To prevent house mouse infestations, seal entry points, keep food stored in rodent-proof containers, and maintain a clean environment.
