Mice are usually classified as a pest species due to their habits of living in houses, getting into food and gnawing on wood and wires. The most common complaints include the following:
- Mice living in the attic
- Mice scratching in the walls
- Mice raiding the pantry
- Gnawing on electrical wires
- Concerns over health risks
For these reasons, many people wish to have these nuisance rodents trapped and removed.
