Did you know that a house mouse is the most commonly found rodent in the United States? House mice are typically located in dark, concealed areas of a house, like basements and attics. These rodents can carry many diseases such as Salmonella and tapeworms… you don’t want to find them munching on food in your kitchen! House mice can also cause damage to your property because they like to chew on wires, which could start an electrical fire in your house.
