Does one mouse mean you have an infestation?

I found a mouse in my house - does that mean I have an infestation?

Spotting a mouse in your house, apartment, or business doesn’t always mean a big problem, but it should never be ignored. Mice are social animals; where there’s one, there are often more nearby. A single mouse in a basement or even one caught in a trap could be a sign that others are hiding out of sight.

Common signs of a mouse infestation to look out for include droppings, gnaw marks, musty odors, hidden nests, and scratching sounds at night. 

For long-term protection addressing lasting exclusion as well as existing mouse problems, it’s best to contact Western’s mouse control service. We’ll conduct a thorough inspection and advise on the best steps to prevent mice.
