The Norway rat can reach up to 9 inches while the domestic house mouse can reach up to 4 inches. Mice also have long thin tails with hairs, but the Norway rat tail is usually hairless.
How Serious Are Mice?
Common house mice can spread diseases such as salmonella, hantavirus and listeria through their droppings, saliva and urine. These diseases can be dangerous and if you have a high level of infestation in your home the risk of catching one is increasing.
Mice also love chewing on wires and when they are in the attack or in your walls believe it or not they can create huge damage or even they can burn your house down. They do this to keep their teeth short or to gain new access. They can also chew through wood, rubber, plastic and glass lines.
