squirrel and are found in attics many times being heard in walls
and mistaken for squirrels. Females breed each month producing
up to 42 young every year. Deer mice can live up to 8 years. The
deer mouse is a notorious carrier of Hanta virus disease which is
spread to humans through mouse droppings.
