The White Footed Mouse - How to get rid of them

Описание: What Are White-Footed Mice?

White-footed mice usually live in more rural areas and suburbs. They’re about five inches long including the tail, they have brown fur on top, and have the tell-tale white feet and underbellies.

White-footed mice are agile swimmers and, unfortunately for home and business-owners, avid climbers.

They can give birth to between three and five mice at a time every 45 days.

The White-Footed Mouse and Lyme Disease

While Lyme Disease is spread through a black-legged tick bite, the ticks must become infected themselves. The disease-causing Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria is what is needed in order to transmit Lyme. White-footed mice are one of the largest carriers of this bacteria — and they’re among the animals that ticks feed off of the most.
