Mice
Mice are common rodents found in the Southeastern United States, posing potential challenges for residents. The most prevalent species, the House Mouse (Mus musculus), is adaptable and can thrive in various environments, including residential areas. Known for their small size and keen ability to access confined spaces, mice often seek shelter indoors during colder seasons. Their presence can lead to concerns about property damage, contamination of food supplies, and the transmission of diseases.
