Will Mice Leave On Their Own?

So, before we come to that point, it is important to identify what kind of pests we are dealing with. That way, we would know how to properly deal with them. Also, know how we could stop the situation from getting out of our hands. Mistaken identification may lead to improper treatment that costs time, money, and effort. This may also lead to health risks to the people inside the house. Even to the environment itself so we must be very careful.

One of the most common kinds of pests, and probably the most disgusting, we can have in our homes are Mus musculus, or what they call house mice. 

What Are House Mice?

These are small rodents with round ears, a pointed snout, and a scaly tail. At first, you may think of them as harmless beings. Once you discover the things it can do to your home and to your family, you would want to immediately get rid of it in whatever way you can.

They are not the same as pet mice. House mice are not as innocent as they may look. They can destroy your property and can even burn your house down. They invade our home sweet homes to find food and shelter. Unlike pets, they are not there as our playmates and for cuddles. In fact, they bring stress and could cause serious troubles. What's worse, they would continue to do so as long as they live.

Keeping your space clean and spotless will help prevent mice from coming in. However, this is only applicable if they have not discovered your place yet. Once they are inside your territory then it is a different story. Making them leave or getting rid of them is somewhat challenging. There are things to consider before you take any action. Doing some research might help but it's always best to seek help from the experts. 

Here Are Some Signs That Mice Are Living In Your House

Droppings

Mice droppings are dark brown or black colored small pellet-like substances. 

Boxes, Foils, & Other Things Are Chewed

Mice love chewing. They don't just chew food but also clothes, cardboard, wood, and even electrical wires. 

Noise From The Walls Or Attic

It is normal for these creatures to create a squeaking sound. They do this when they find food or during mating. You will normally hear this at night. 

Holes In The Walls

Mice create holes in the walls and pipes to gain access to different parts of your home. 

How Do You Get Rid Of Them? 

Do you just wait for them to die or leave on their own? Definitely not! Waiting for them to disappear without effort and any actions on your end is a big no.  It is like waiting for something that will never happen. These little beings will never leave on their own. You certainly have to do something for them to disappear.

You might think that mice are attracted only to filthy places as the bigger version of them, rats, live in disgusting places like sewage or garbage piles, but that is not the case with house mice. These creatures will make their way to your house by creating holes in the walls and attic and through pipes. They can live in your house even if you regularly clean and sanitize your space. Why?  Because mice are attracted to food, water, and shelter, which are obviously available in your home all the time; especially in the kitchen, or even in the living room or in your bedroom.

Let’s admit it. Every one of us loves to eat in different corners of our house. When we are working from home, while we are reading our favorite books, and when we have visitors, we welcome them and offer them food in the living room. When we are watching a movie or even if we are just relaxing in our room or chit-chatting with family members there is food. The leftover food on the table or counter which we sometimes miss to wipe, the crumbs in the carpet or in our bedroom, or even the food that we stock in our kitchen cupboards are not safe and can attract these mice, and this is enough to make them want to stay. Once they realize that your home is a good source for food and a good place for shelter, they will never leave and will start making their nests and look for a spot where they can stay and hide.

What is more concerning is that they multiply fast which means you will have to deal with more of their kind until you are able to completely get rid of them. You must force these creatures to leave your house or else, they can make your life miserable.  

DIY Control Methods

Nowadays, people have found many different ways on how they can get rid of mice. There are Do-it-yourself baits and traps, chemicals and pesticides specifically made for rodents and even pest reject machines which you can buy in stores; there are so many options to choose from. Some might work but some may not. You will never know until you are able to try and test it.

If this is the first time you saw mice or you think there are only a few of them living in your house, then it is still manageable, and setting up baits and traps yourself might still work and may not require too much effort on your end. However, once infestation starts or if you are not sure yet what the exact situation in your home is, then don't take chances. It's time for you to get help from the professionals.

Ask For Help

Yes, I am talking about pest control service. There are many pest control companies now who offer exceptional service, but let's face it, there are also mediocre service providers who provide a not-so-good service to homeowners. They would just come to your house, set baits and traps, and use harmful chemicals and that's it. Though this does not apply to all, as I know there are a lot of companies out there who provide excellent service, but there are companies who fail to deliver what is expected of them. Do you ever think or ask why they do not do their jobs seriously? It's this simple: they want to keep their business running and want a repeat business with you after a while.

If you see some mice again sometime after hiring professionals, then you have no choice but to reach out to them again. Some companies offer a service warranty. If the issue reoccurs after a period of time and it's still within the service warranty, then you are lucky. They will revisit and redo the service without the need for you to pay again. There are also some companies who do not offer this, which means that if the issue happens again then you have no choice but to pay again. But, how sure are we that we are able to completely eliminate these creatures the last time we attempted to do so? The thing is, we really cannot tell so we must look for a trusted and reliable pest control company who could do the job for us. A company that will not just use chemicals to kill those pests but will also look for the source and make sure that they are all gone on the very first attempt.
