The 21-Day Cycle
The House Mouse (Mus musculus) is a biological machine built for speed.
- Gestation: Only 19-21 days.
- Litter Size: Average of 6-8 pups.
- Maturity: Babies are ready to breed in just 6 weeks.
This is why traps alone often fail. If you aren't catching them faster than they are breeding (and sealing the entry points they use), you are fighting a losing battle.
