Mice are a nuisance and they certainly don’t belong in your home. Mice tend to cause quite a bit of damage to furniture, walls and floors and their squeaking can get annoying at night. You know what they look like, but here are some things you might not have known about your squeaky little friends.

  1. There is a reason they are called the ‘Three Blind Mice.’ It is rare that you will find just one mouse inside of your home. They typically come in packs and with their prominent reproduction cycle, they can give birth to six babies that will mature in a few weeks time.
  2. Male mice actually sing to their female counterparts for their attention. They have the ability to harmonize their vocal chords to attract mates.
  3. While cheese and mice might seem mutually exclusive, they are not. Mice actually prefer grains and seeds for their midnight snack.
  4. Mice tend to nest in close proximity to their food source. That is why mice tend to burrow inside cabinets and drawers where food is readily available.
  5. Mice don’t have a hunting schedule. They actually search for food randomly– close to twenty time per day.
  6. This one is a little gross! Mice actually urinate and defecate frequently to mark their territory. That is why it is important to act fast when you see signs of their presence.
  7. A mouse actually has one of the strongest senses of smell in the entire animal kingdom.
  8. Gravity seems to not have an effect on mice. They can climb laterally, vertically and upside down with their claws acting like magnets on the wood. It is quite remarkable to watch.
  9. Male mice are not the guys you wanna get into a bar fight with. They have been known to fight to the death for the love of a female companion.
  10. Mice have been used in thousands of scientific, medical, and social experiments since the 1950’s.
