What house mice look like
House mice are small, gray-brown rodents with large ears. They can squeeze through gaps about the width of a pencil and breed quickly once inside.

- Chewed food packaging
- Nests of shredded paper or insulation
- Scratching in walls
House mice in the Sacramento area
Mice move into homes and garages as the weather cools, and properties near fields, farmland and open space see the most pressure, especially around harvest.
Prevention tips
- Seal gaps around pipes, garage doors and foundation vents
- Store food in hard containers
- Keep garages uncluttered
- Keep stored items off the floor
