DIETDeer mice eat seeds, small fruits and berries, beetles, caterpillars, grasshoppers, leafhoppers, and an underground fungus. They prefer to eat insects when they can find them.
HABITAT
The deer mouse makes its home outdoors in hollow tree logs or piles of garbage. They are nocturnal, so they sleep in their nests during the day. They also use their nests to raise their young and to protect them against harsh weather. When a deer mouse does come indoors, it prefers quiet places, such as attics.
IMPACT
Deer mice can spread the potentially fatal
Hantavirus. The virus can be spread by touching infected mice or by breathing in the fumes released in their urine.

- Make sure that your home and storage areas are clean and dry.
