Buffalo Area Mice Exterminator Service Near You by Fox Pest Control

Once they’re in your home they will eat whatever they can find and chew their way through plastic, wires, and more. Buffalo Area homeowners who have experienced a mouse infestation know that these rodents are not as cute and friendly as they are portrayed in children’s movies. You need a professional Buffalo Area pest control company when you are dealing with a mouse infestation.
You may see mice scurry across the floor, or if your pets are barking or hissing and pawing under appliances, they might be alerting you of a mouse infestation. Fox Pest Control is here to help.

Signs of a Mouse Infestation
You might already know you have a mouse infestation in your Buffalo Area, but here are a few of the most common signs a mouse exterminator would look for.
Droppings
The first sign of a mouse infestation is their droppings. Mice aren’t particular about where they leave their droppings, so they will appear anywhere the mice are hanging out, including the backside of drawers, inside pantries or cabinets, in basements or attic spaces, under water heaters or heating units, etc.
Noises
Mice may make noise at night, usually scurrying sounds, scratching, or squeaking.
Bite marks
Mice are rodents, which means their teeth are constantly growing. They have a strong urge to chew things to wear down their teeth, including wood, cardboard, food containers, or plastic.
Sightings
Although less common than the other signs of mice, a mouse may be seen in the open when looking for food, water, or shelter.
Things You Need to Know About Mice:
- Mice are classified as rodents, meaning their front teeth (incisors) never stop growing.
- To keep their incisors trim, mice need to constantly chew on things. This could be brick, fabric, food, or really anything around your Buffalo Area property.
- In spite of food, these small critters will chew a hole straight through your wall if they need to.
- Holes as small as a nickel could be an entry point for mice, because they have the ability to squeeze their bodies into incredibly tight spaces. It’s important to get rid of mice before they can become established in your Buffalo Area home.
- Once they get inside, there’s a risk of contracting diseases transmitted through mouse droppings or urine, bites, or tainted food such as:
- Hantavirus
- Salmonella
- Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV).
Helpful Mouse Prevention Tips:
- Seal common entry points
- Seal all food in airtight containers
- Fix leaky faucets
- Reduce hiding places in the kitchen and other areas of the house where food is kept.

Mouse Exterminator FAQ
How do I get rid of mice?
The best way to treat a mouse infestation is with preventative measures, such as filling up tiny gaps and cracks around the house and fixing cracks in the foundation. Store your food in airtight containers to make your home less appealing to them as well.
When mice have already invaded your Buffalo Area home, it’s best to call Fox Pest Control to let us help you feel safe and comfortable again.
What damage do mice cause in homes?
The biggest problem mice will usually give Buffalo Area homeowners is contaminating food and chewing through walls, containers, furniture, fabric, paper, and electrical wiring. If it gets to that point, you know you’d better call a mouse exterminator like Fox Pest Control.
How do I know if I have mice in the house?
Signs of mice include:
Chewed cloths or paper
Discarded feces
Squeaks, squeals, strange noises, and movements, especially at night
Tiny mouse footprints in dirt or piles of food (eg prints in flour or sugar)
Holes chewed through food containers or in the walls
Unusual alert behavior of house cats or dogs
How did mice get into my house?
Mice have an extraordinary ability to squeeze themselves into tiny spaces. If the outside wall of a house in Buffalo Area has any gaps, a mouse can fit into a hole the diameter of a nickel or smaller.
Can mice fit in small spaces?
Mice can fit into gaps or cracks the size of a nickel or even a dime.
As long as the mouse can fit its little head in a gap or hole, its unique bone structure allows it to pull itself through.
Why are mice trying to get in my house?
Once inside your home, mice will look for hiding places with plenty of food and water nearby, so the kitchen or food storage areas are obvious hiding spots.
What do mice eat?
Mice can eat a lot of different sorts of food, especially foods that are high in sugar or protein. With their strong sense of smell, they go looking for foods they prefer, and the typical kitchen is full of them. That’s why it’s essential to seal all your food — including pet food — in airtight containers.
What’s the difference between a mouse and a rat?
Body size. Adult mice are much smaller than adult rats.
Feces. Mice feces are brown or black and about the size and shape of rice grains. Norwegian rat droppings are larger and more cylindrical, and roof rat feces are larger and more banana-shaped.
Tails. Rat tails are hairless, whereas mice tails grow tiny hairs. Mouse tails are proportionately longer compared to their body size than rat tails.
Ears. Mouse ears are more rounded than a rat’s, and rat ears are slightly narrower than a mouse’s.
Body shape. Rats, especially the Norwegian rat, have more of a hunch to their bodies than mice.

Good service from Cassius today. Friendly. Explained what he was going to do. After he was done, made suggestions on how we could further protect the house from attack. Explained pet protocol for our dog. Very informative. Thanks!

I've been a Fox Pest customer for 2 years now, and I'm so pleased with the service and my tech Chris Clark. I have pesky ants that come out every spring, and this has been the quickest they've been under control thanks to Chris and his quick follow up. He explained his treatment plan (and made sure it was safe for my pets) and scheduled a return appointment to check on the outcome. Thanks Chris!
