It is very common to be able to identify a house mice problem,
and house mice damage. The house mouse (Mus musculus) is a
small, slender rodent that has a slightly pointed nose; small,
black, somewhat protruding eyes; large, sparsely haired ears;
and a nearly hairless tail with obvious scale rings. House mice
are considered among the most troublesome and economically
important rodents in the United States, and casue many house
mice problems. Adult house mice weigh about 2/5 to 4/5 ounce (11

buff belly. Similar mice include the white-footed mice and
jumping mice (which have a white belly), and harvest mice (which
have grooved upper incisor teeth). Following their arrival on

in the southern parts of Canada. House mice live in and around
homes, farms, commercial establishments, and in open fields and
agricultural lands. At
