Mice and their rodent cousins are notorious for multiplying quickly โ breeding at a rapid rate of multiple litters a year. They turn what feels like a manageable situation into an overwhelming infestation in no time. So if you are starting to see signs of a mouse infestation, it may seem like a small issue now, but don’t be fooled.
Recognizing the rapid rate at which mice can breed is important, but taking action before the chill of fall and winter sets in is even more crucial. Our team at The Bug Man is on standby to help you tackle mice head-on, starting with expert insights and tips below.
The Startling Speed of Mouse Reproduction
Allowing mice into your home as the weather cools could result in your space being overrun by these critters at an alarmingly rapid rate. Here’s what to know about mouse reproduction:
- A single female can deliver five to ten litters annually, with each litter potentially boasting up to 14 youngsters.
- Post-birth, these mothers waste no time, ready to conceive again almost instantly, meaning a new litter can arrive every 25 days.
- In just four to six weeks, they reach maturity.

How The Bug Man Handles Mice
Our The Bug Man experts have two robust strategies in rodent extermination โ both for keeping mice at bay and evicting those that have overstayed their welcome:
1. Preventing Mice
We begin with an inspection of your property โ then seal any potential mouse entryways, like cracks in the foundation or gaps in the roof. Before service, we recommend tidying your yard, with no hideouts, and securely sealing garbage cans. This can significantly reduce the appeal of your home to these pests!
2. Getting Rid of Mice
Our rodent control team sets up professional traps and performs humane removal. Using natural remedies yourself, like diluted peppermint oil, apple cider vinegar, strategically placed kitty litter, or fabric softener sheets can sometimes work โ but professional intervention is always going to be more effective than DIY methods.
