Small, 7–10 cm body, gray-brown with a lighter belly, large ears and a thin tail about as long as the body. Droppings are rice-grain sized and pointed.
Pantries, kitchens, garages, wall voids and cluttered storage. They enter through gaps as small as a dime.
- Tiny dark droppings along walls and in drawers
- Gnaw marks on packaging and baseboards
- Scratching in walls
- A musky ammonia odor in enclosed spaces
Mice contaminate food, chew wiring, and spread salmonella, hantavirus and other pathogens. A pair can become dozens in a season.
Is this urgent?
Not an emergency, but don't sit on it. House Mouse establishes indoors and gets harder — and slower — to clear the longer the colony has to spread. Treated early it's a routine visit; left for a season it usually takes more than one.
Rhino combines trapping, baiting and entry-point exclusion, then advises on sanitation and storage to keep them out for good.
