If you have noticed a lot of mouse poop around, you have an infestation. Imagine that one poop equals around 1 plus 6 mice. That is because the one mouse could be the mom, and her babies are the plus. Just don’t forget dad, ’cause he is around too. He might have a harem, of maybe 5 or more ladies, and then you are looking at the numbers we spoke about above. EEK!
Babies are babies for only 6 weeks, and then they are ready to have their own nests and little ones. And, if your food supply is easily found, and you keep ignoring the poop, well….
Babies are pretty ingenious as they have a special cry they reserve for their mom, and it is an ultrasonic noise, that they can use in times of danger, without the enemy hearing the noise at all. So, if you come upon a nest, and then you find mom showing up, without any sounds, you have just be scammed by the ultrasonic calls of super mouse baby!
