Signs of Mice in Your Home

Mice are most active in fall and winter as they seek warmth — early signs are easy to miss.

Signs to look for

• Small dark droppings near food, drawers, or along walls
• Gnaw marks on packaging, wood, or wiring
• Scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night
• A faint musky odor in enclosed spaces

Why it happens

Mice need only a small gap to enter and are drawn to food, clutter, and warmth as temperatures drop.

Prevention tips

• Seal exterior gaps larger than a pencil width
• Store pantry items in hard containers
• Keep garages and basements clutter-free
• Trim vegetation and move woodpiles away from the home

When to call a professional

If you see droppings or hear activity in walls, a professional inspection can locate entry points and nesting areas. Keera Pest Control serves Woodbridge Township and nearby Central New Jersey communities.
