Description

Appearance:

Adult deer mice have a head and body length of 2 3/4 to 4 inches, a tail length of 2 to 5 inches and a weight of 3/8 to 1 1/4 ounce. Deer mice are bi-colored, pale grayish-buff to deep reddish-brown above and white below. The tail is always sharply bi-colored, longer than half the length of the head and body combined, and covered with short hairs. Young deer mice are similar to adults but are gray on the upper surface of the body.

Solutions:

What you can do: The key to any mouse control program is pest identification, sanitation, harborage elimination, and mouse proofing the building. If deer mice are already in an occupied structure, professional pest management by Peoria Pest Eliminators is recommended. Exclusion is the best preventative control method. All potential entry holes (any hole or gap that is the diameter of a pencil or larger) should be sealed with 1/8-inch mesh hardware cloth, copper gauze or silicone caulk. To reduce structural attractiveness, store birdseed and dry pet foods in areas other than the garage or storage sheds.

Because deer mice are the primary carriers of hantavirus, it is prudent to practice minimal safety precautions if a nest is discovered or dead deer mice must be handled and removed. These include:

  1. Wear a respirator equipped with HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters when working with rodent traps, in confined areas with urine and/or droppings, or with dead mice.

  2. Wear rubber or plastic gloves when handling mice or traps; these should be disinfected before removal.

  3. Treat dead mice with a disinfectant mist before handling and/or use the inverted bag technique (turn the bag inside out and use as a glove, pick up the mouse and while holding on to mouse, turn the bag right-side out again, and seal the bag).

  4. Disinfect any droppings before removal; if a vacuum is used, it must be equipped with a HEPA filter.

Professional Solutions:

A Peoria Pest Eliminators pest management professional will determine where mice may be entering the structure (e.g., gaps larger than 1/4 inch) and either make recommendations for exclusion or perform the exclusion if contracted to do so. A toxic baiting program will be employed indoors (e.g., beneath kitchen sinks, behind large appliances, in attached garages, attics, crawlspaces, basements), and possibly outdoors where mice are active along foundation walls and under decks.

Tamper-resistant bait stations will be used to contain rodenticide baits, except in attics. Rodenticide tracking powder may be sparingly used in infested structural voids. Small snap traps may be utilized to capture mice if baiting alone is inadequate to eliminate an infestation expediently.
