Mice in the Attic? Here’s What Northern Virginia Homeowners Need to Know
If you’re hearing scratching, squeaking, or scurrying sounds above your ceiling—especially at night—you may be dealing with mice in the attic. It’s one of the most common pest issues in Northern Virginia, and it’s not something to ignore.
At Senate Termite & Pest Control, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners across Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, Loudoun, and Prince William counties solve rodent problems quickly and permanently.
Why Mice Love Attics in Northern Virginia
Mice are opportunistic. When temperatures drop or food gets scarce, your attic becomes the perfect nesting spot. It’s warm, quiet, and usually undisturbed by humans. With plenty of insulation to burrow in and easy access points near rooflines, mice often enter homes in:
- Fairfax
- Alexandria
- Arlington
- Springfield
- Ashburn
- Woodbridge
- Falls Church
- McLean
- Manassas
Warning Signs You Have Mice in the Attic
Even if you haven’t seen a mouse, here are clear signs to look for:
- Scratching or scurrying sounds at night
- Mouse droppings near attic corners or HVAC vents
- Chewed wires, cardboard, or wood
- Insulation that looks shredded or disturbed
- Strong, musky odor in upper rooms
What Makes Attic Mice a Serious Problem
Mice aren’t just creepy—they’re destructive and dangerous:
- Chew wires, increasing fire risk
- Contaminate insulation with droppings and urine
- Spread disease through air and surfaces
- Invite more rodents by leaving behind pheromones
