- Behaviour: Agile climbers and jumpers, primarily nocturnal, and highly curious but cautious in new environments.
- Habitat: Prefer wooded areas, brushy fields, and suburban gardens; often found in rural and semi-rural settings.
- Diet: Omnivorous—feeds on seeds, fruits, insects, and occasionally small invertebrates.

Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Seal entry points
Problem: Mice can squeeze through tiny gaps or find new entry points
Result: Infestation persists despite sealing efforts

Peppermint oil deterrent
Problem: Mice quickly become accustomed to the scent
Result: Ineffective long-term deterrent
Ultrasonic pest repellers
Problem: White-footed mice are not significantly affected by ultrasonic sounds and may become accustomed to the noise over time.
Result: Infestation persists despite continued use.
Snap traps
Problem: White-footed mice are agile and can often steal bait without triggering the trap
Result: Ineffective at significantly reducing the infestation
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
