Deer mice prefer the outdoors, living in a hallow log, in a burrow, or under debris. They are abundant in rural areas, but can also be found in an overgrown vacant lot or a yard with debris.

Habitat

These rodents rarely invade homes. However, they can come indoors when the weather is poor and their food sources are low. They prefer secluded areas where they can go undetected such as the attic. They are nocturnal. During the day, they sleep in their nest with their young. Fecal pellets and a urine order can be found in infested areas.

Health Risks

Deer mice can transmit Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, a potentially fatal disease. The disease can be transmitted through contact with a mouse carcass or by breathing the urine of infected mice.

Property Damage

They can chew on wiring, wood, plaster, and dry wall while inside your home. These rodents destroy and contaminate foods.

Prevention

Seal all cracks and holes as small as a nickel around your doors and foundation. Place food in sealed plastic containers.
