Expert Rodent Control in Grand Rapids 

The average mouse can reproduce at just 50 days of age. Mice have litters year round, with the average gestation period being only 20 days and litter sizes range from 6 to 12. When the pups are born, they weigh from 0.5 to 1.5 grams, are hairless and have closed eyes and ears. It is because of this fast reproduction cycle that mice populations can grow to the hundreds in a very short time, causing what was thought to be a minor problem into a major infestation quickly.
