What you need to know about mice?

The mice that are pests in Sydney homes are usually the house mouse (Mus domesticus). They construct their nests using materials such as shredded paper or fabrics close to areas where they scavenge for food. These nests are usually situated in wall cavities, roof voids, or under floor areas. The house mouse can transmit diseases, and can damage food and food packaging.

• Mice actively forage for food at night using the same routes of movement to and from the food sources often in your pantry or kitchen.
• Their diet includes cereal grains, seeds, or sweet material.
• Mice can obtain water from foodstuffs providing the food is sufficiently moist.
• Mice may breed year-round and a female can have five to 10 litters per year and one breeding pair can produce up to 2000 offspring in a year.
