The Panama City area is home to several different types of rodents, including beach mice. While you might be worried about these mice invading your home, they typically live in dunes or areas of open scrub. Find out more about these mice so you can determine if you need Panama City pest control.
Beach Mouse Habitat
House mice are notorious for getting into homes and being a nuisance to homeowners. However, beach mice tend to stay along beaches where they mainly look for bugs and seeds to eat.
Some of these mice are considered endangered due to habitat loss from development along the coast, as well as from damage caused by hurricanes. As they lose their habitat, these mice could become a more common sight near homes in Panama City.
Beach Mouse Appearance
How do you know if what you’re looking at is a beach mouse? These small rodents are typically more pale in color than house mice and often have some grayish or brownish coloring on their back. Some beach mice also have a tail stripe and a coat coloring along their sides and on their face.
Although you might only see beach mice in the dunes rather than in your yard, it’s still important to be able to identify them and seek help from professional pest control experts if you’re having a problem with these rodents.
