What to Do When Mice Are in Your Walls
A scratching sound you can’t ignore. It usually starts late at night, a faint scratching or scurrying behind the drywall. At first, you might brush it off as your imagination, but as days go by, the sound grows more frequent. Homeowners and property managers across Minnesota know that this unsettling noise often means one thing: mice have found a way inside your home and into your walls. These tiny invaders don’t just create noise, they cause real damage and health risks if left unchecked. They also have 5 or more litters in one year.

Understanding how they sneak in—and how to prevent it—can protect your home and family from the damage and frustration that comes with an infestation.

You may also notice mice footprints (or tale prints), or you may hear unexplained scampering noises, especially at night when rooms in your home are dark.
