How Serious Are Deer Mice?
Depending on the severity of infestation level from deer mice, it can become a health concern. Deer mice are a problematic problem when they seek shelter inside of your home, storing a surplus of grains, nuts, and fruits. They build their habit to better suit themselves, create messy nesting sites, food storage, and their bathroom use is abundant in your home.
Do Deer Mice Carry Diseases?
