Spotting signs of mice in your house early on can make the difference between an isolated intrusion and a costly infestation. An adult mouse produces up to 80 droppings a day, and a single pair can produce several hundred offspring in just one year. In other words, the longer you wait to take action, the more difficult it becomes to deal with the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Noises in the walls, small black droppings near the fridge, or a smell of ammonia under the sink: these rodents always leave traces before you even see them. Our <\/span>Montreal exterminators<\/span><\/a> are certified and have been serving the Greater Montreal area, Laval, and the North Shore since 2008 to identify and eliminate these intruders. Here are the 10 signs to watch for in your home, ranked from most visible to least noticeable.<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Mouse droppings<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Noises coming from walls and ceilings<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Their squeaks and other cries<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Footprints<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Grease marks<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Gnawing marks<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Mouse nests<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Unusual odors<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Unusual behavior in pets<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. A direct sighting of a mouse in broad daylight<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The more signs you find, the higher the likelihood of an active infestation. A single isolated clue may indicate a one-time visit; three or more clues in the same area almost always confirm that a colony has taken up residence.<\/span><\/p>\n
