Mice are typically distinguished from rats by their size. The most common types of mice to invade your home or business is a Field mouse or a House mouse. In most contexts, mice can be considered vermin. They are known to cause structural damage and spread disease. Mice can spread disease through their feces and are often carriers of parasites. Breathing dust that has come in contact with mouse excrement has been linked to hantavirus. Mice are primarily nocturnal.

Once the area is learned, the mouse will be able to roam more freely creating more scent trails for ease of traveling. It is estimated that Mice and Rats are responsible for up to 20 percent of undetermined house fires each year by chewing on electrical wires in the walls and attic.
