Signs that mice may be active in your home

Record what you see

Note the date and location of damaged packaging, gnaw marks or sounds. If you can photograph signs without disturbing them, that may help with an initial assessment.

Check the context

Activity around food, stored belongings or a garage may suggest places to inspect. A sighting does not show the full extent of a problem or identify every entry point.

Avoid disturbing waste

Do not sweep or vacuum rodent waste. Follow current public health cleanup guidance and ask a qualified service provider about significant contamination.

Prepare for the conversation

Describe the affected spaces, pets, children and any control methods already used. Ask whether entry point recommendations and follow up visits are included.
