Picture

The House Mouse are variable in colour from grey/dark grey to almost black, ​size?
​

They can give birth about every 21 days and their young can be sexually mature in 5-6 weeks and this can give rise to very rapidly increasing populations if not controlled correctly. Mouse infestations are controlled with a combination of advice about hygiene, repairing access holes, poison bait and mouse traps. Both proactive and reactive methods are essential when dealing with this pest. 
​
Signs of a mouse infestation are droppings (which look like brown/black grains of rice), and chewed packets of food, sometimes nesting material may be visible such as chewed cloth, tissue, or 

The House Mouse has been identified from pre-Roman Iron Age deposits and is believed to have arrived in Britain around 10th century BC. It is likely that it was once a wild species somewhere on the borders of the Russia and Iran and generally spread with the practice of agriculture. Its small size makes it an easy animal to transport hidden in goods and materials. Extremely adaptable the House Mouse is probably, after man, the most numerous mammal on earth.
