Mice FAQs

    Mice can give birth when they are two months old and can have babies 6 to 10 times per year.


  • Can I get ill from being near or in contact with a mouse?

    It depends on the species, but some mice can carry germs in their urine which can cause illness and allergies. They can also spread disease through ticks, fleas and mites. This is why professional mouse control is so important.
