Mice are good at getting into homes and making it hard to detect that they’re around. However, they do leave signs of their presence if you know what to look for. Watch for the following signs of a mouse problem in your attic, and get professional pest control in Monmouth County if you notice any.
Noises
Mice aren’t always quiet. If mice are in your attic, you might hear them scurrying around or even squeaking. However, mice tend to leave more visible signs of their presence rather than audible ones.
Urine and Droppings
Mice leave urine and droppings in your home as they move around. When you’re checking your attic for mice, look for areas that are stained with urine or tiny black droppings that are roughly the size of a rice grain.
Chewing or Gnawing Damage
Mice typically chew or gnaw on items and materials in attics. You might notice that boxes or other objects have teeth marks on them from being chewed on. You might also find chewing or gnawing marks on structures in your attic, such as beams.
Burrows and Tunnels
Mice in your attic might make burrows and tunnels through your insulation. Check for these holes when you examine your attic.
