House Mouse


Appearance:The house mouse (Mus musculus) is a brownish mouse with a long scaly tail and large, naked leaf-like ears

Habitat:

The house mouse is not native to Florida, but now occurs throughout the state, often in habitats associated with humans.  In addition to houses, they may live in groceries, factories, or agricultural buildings where grain is stored.  They may also live outdoors in old fields, pastures, or road sides.    They may be a pest as they get into food, and gnaw in walls or clothing.   As the weather grows colder, mice may become more active and seek indoor shelter.
