Finding mice droppings? Have a mouse in the kitchen? Mouse in the house? Mice and rats often get thrown into the same conversation. While they are similar in many ways, mice can be more difficult to control than rats. Mice are elusive and they are smaller than rats so they can live in much tighter spaces. Mice require a much smaller living area and like to live as close as possible to their food source. Mice also do not require water since their internal organs are designed to extract water from what would seem like a dry food source. Because of this, mice need to be treated close to where they dwell. If mouse traps are not placed close enough to where the mice are living, then the mice will never find them because they will not venture far from their home and food source.

Unlike rats, mice tend to make less noise and leave fewer droppings to be found because they do not travel as far or as often as rats. Mice droppings are also smaller than rat droppings and often look like a black grain of rice.
