Mouse Control and Extermination in Lansing, Byron Center, and Surrounding Areas
Gutter installers found a hornet nest in my home and couldn’t finish the installation. I called a number of large chain pest control companies but Ben explained his process over in detail that I could understand. He and his assistant came that same day. They were thorough and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend Stewart Pest Solutions.
Mice may be small, but they can create major problems inside your home or business. Once they find a way indoors, they often settle in walls, attics, basements, and crawlspaces where they remain hidden while causing ongoing damage.
One of the first signs of a mouse infestation is scratching or movement sounds, especially at night. You may also notice chewed materials along baseboards, cabinets, food packaging, or entry points. Mouse droppings and a strong ammonia-like odor are also common indicators that mice are present.
Beyond the nuisance, mice pose real health concerns. They can spread bacteria and contaminate food and surfaces, increasing the risk of illness for anyone in the space.
Common Mice and Rodents in Michigan
Understanding the type of rodent on your property helps determine the most effective treatment approach. Continue reading to learn about the rodents that could be intruding your space.
Deer Mice
Deer mice are gray-brown with white underbellies, feet, and tail tips, along with large eyes and ears. Common in rural areas, they may enter garages or basements seasonally. These rodents are active at night, traveling significant distances to forage for seeds, nuts, and insects. Deer mice are known carriers of hantavirus, and their droppings should be handled with care. They may also chew wires and store food indoors.
House Mice
House mice are one of the most common indoor pests in Michigan. They are small, slender, and capable of squeezing through openings as small as a dime. They typically nest in walls, cabinets, or storage areas using shredded materials. House mice reproduce rapidly, producing multiple litters each year, and can contaminate food while spreading bacteria such as salmonella.
Voles
Voles, often referred to as meadow mice, are typically outdoor pests. They are stockier than house mice, with shorter tails and blunt noses. Voles create shallow tunnels in lawns and landscaping, feeding on grass, roots, and bark. While they rarely enter homes, they can cause noticeable damage to yards, gardens, and trees.
