Mice moving in.

They may look cute and cuddly, but these little animals can cause damage, and can carry disease. The weather is starting to change, and the temperature is turning colder. Mice are looking for a warm place to hang out for the winter. This could include your shed, garage or home. Mice can squeeze through an opening 1/4 inch in size. They can contaminate food by nibbling on it or covering it with feces, urine, and fur. Under stable conditions a mice will forage 10 to 33 feet from their nesting area. A successful rodent control program should include a combination of baiting and trapping. This should also include exclusion techniques, general clean up and removal of their hiding places (harborage areas).
