Mice
Mice are common rodents in the Southeastern United States, presenting potential challenges for residents. The House Mouse (Mus musculus) is the most prevalent species, adaptable to various environments, including homes. Due to their small size and ability to navigate tight spaces, mice often seek shelter indoors during colder months. Their presence can cause concerns such as property damage, food contamination, and disease transmission.
PestNation recognizes the importance of addressing mouse infestations promptly to maintain a pest-free and sanitary environment for residents in the Southeast. Our professional services are designed to effectively identify and manage mouse problems, offering solutions tailored to the specific needs of homeowners. By using environmentally friendly methods, PestNation aims to address mouse issues while protecting both households and the surrounding ecosystem.
Types of Mice
The Southeastern United States is home to a diverse range of mouse species, each well-suited to the region's varied ecosystems. The Cotton Mouse (Peromyscus gossypinus) is known for its agility and adaptability across different habitats. The Deer Mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), recognizable by its white underside, is commonly found in wooded areas. The Eastern Harvest Mouse (Reithrodontomys humulis) prefers grassy environments and is noted for its small size and distinctive fur coloration.
In urban and residential settings, the House Mouse (Mus musculus) is highly adaptable and frequently seeks shelter indoors. The White-footed Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus), distinguished by its white feet and underparts, is widespread across various environments. While these mouse species contribute to the region's biodiversity, their presence inside homes can cause concerns related to property damage and health risks.
