Deer Mouse

Deer mice are small rodents with relatively large ears and eyes. They are typically brown to grayish-brown with white underbellies and feet. Their tails are bi-colored, darker on top and white underneath, and about half the length of their body.

Look for small, rice-shaped droppings in drawers, cabinets, and along walls. You might also find nests made of shredded paper, fabric, or other soft materials in secluded areas. A musty odor can also indicate a deer mouse infestation in your Myrtle Beach home.

Our licensed technicians will identify entry points, seal them off, and implement trapping and baiting strategies.

Contact MBPC for a thorough inspection and preventative treatment plan specific to our local climate.

Deer mice are common in a variety of habitats, including wooded areas, fields, and grasslands. In coastal South Carolina, they can be found near homes, particularly in areas with overgrown vegetation or easy access to shelter. They often seek refuge indoors during colder months or when food sources are scarce.
