What are field mice?
Field mice, is a general term for various types of small mice and voles that are commonly found in grassy fields, meadows, and agricultural areas. Most species that are considered “field mice” have compact bodies, short tails, and small ears. They are typically brown or gray in color, blending in with their natural surroundings.
Are field mice dangerous?
While field mice are generally considered nuisance pests, they can cause damage to property and pose certain risks. They are known to gnaw on various materials, including wires, insulation, and vegetation. Field mice can also contaminate stored food supplies and carry diseases, such as hantavirus, which can be transmitted to humans through contact with their droppings or urine.
Why do I have a field mouse problem?
Field mice are attracted to areas that provide food, shelter, and nesting opportunities. They often seek out environments with abundant vegetation and ground cover. If your property has tall grass, dense vegetation, or easily accessible food sources like bird feeders or garden crops, field mice may be drawn to these favorable conditions and establish nests.
