Mice
Mice are extremely common in Southern California as they have adapted to living off human habitation. They are similar to rats, just smaller and sneakier they love to nest near where they eat and drink. Once they gain access to your home, they will nest in wall voids, under or in furniture, in or behind storage. Mostly nocturnal you will rarely see mice out and about you will only see droppings or stray pieces of food. They are carriers of numerous toxic vectors from fleas, parasites, to germs and viruses. It is extremely vital to remove these animals and prevent reinfestation as they can pose a significant health hazard.
