Behavior and habits
Utah's most common indoor rodent, living entirely inside once established and rarely traveling far from the nest.
Why house mice are a problem
Constant droppings and urine marking wherever they travel, including drawers and pantries.
How Antex handles house mice
Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.
Prevention tips
Focus on kitchens and garages: sealed food, sealed gaps, and snap traps at the first dropping.
