House
Mice
The house mouse is the most commonly
encountered and economically important of the commensal
rodents, the Norway and roof/black rats being the other
two. House mice are not only a nuisance, damage/destroy
materials by gnawing, and eat and contaminate stored
food, they are also of human health importance as disease
carriers or vectors. It is thought to be of Central
Asian origin, but is now of worldwide distribution.
Signs of an infestation include gnaw marks, droppings,
damaged goods or tracks.
