(Mus Domesticus)
As the name suggests, the house mouse lives predominantly indoors, rarely venturing outside. Their small size makes unknowingly transporting them in goods and materials very easy. An extremely adaptable rodent, the house mouse is believed to be one of the most numerous mammals on earth second only to humans.
Like rats, mice are capable of transmitting diseases such as Leptospirosis, Salmonellosis and Plague.
They can also cause severe damage to building structures and their contents through their continuous gnawing.
Very small in size, circa 70-90mm head and body length
Thin tail approximately 80% the length of the body
Variable in colour from grey/dark grey to almost black
Very inquisitive animals, sharing the living space of people
Avoid wet and damp environments preferring warm dry areas
Will graze numerous food sources in one feeding session
Able to breed from 5-6 weeks old
Pregnant for around 19-20 days, able to conceive again within hours of litter being born

Mice often move indoors when they’re looking for warmth, food, or shelter, especially during colder months or periods of disturbance outside. Even the smallest gap can allow entry, so activity can seem to appear “overnight.” At ASW, we carry out a full inspection to understand what’s attracting mice to your property and identify the access points, helping you stop the problem at its source.
Mouse activity can be mistaken for rats, squirrels, or even insects, so it’s common to feel unsure. Mice leave tiny droppings, make lighter scratching noises, and create small nibble marks or shredded materials. Rats, by contrast, leave larger droppings and cause heavier damage. If you’re uncertain, our technicians can quickly confirm what’s present and recommend the right treatment.
Yes. Even a small number of mice can cause considerable damage. They gnaw on wood, insulation, boxed goods, and electrical wiring, which can create fire risks and expensive repairs. Mice can also contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine. ASW provides fast, effective treatment to remove the problem and prevent further damage to your home or business.
While DIY traps and shop-bought products may catch the odd mouse, they rarely deal with the root of the problem. Without identifying entry points and addressing the cause, activity usually returns. ASW provides professional-grade treatments, expert surveys, and long-term prevention advice that ensure the issue is fully resolved, not just temporarily reduced.
Seeing one mouse often means others may be nearby. Mice breed quickly, and a single sighting is usually an early sign of a wider issue. The best immediate step is to avoid leaving food out, check for visible gaps, and contact ASW for a professional inspection. We’ll confirm the level of activity and put the right measures in place before it becomes a bigger problem.
