Detroit residents and businesses report thousands of rodent sightings each year. The most commonly reported rodent sightings in Detroit include the deer mouse and the house mouse. Both rodent species are easily identified, thanks to their unique physical characteristics. For example, the house mouse has a black, pointy nose, round-tipped ears, two tiny black eyes, and a body covered with a thin layer of hair. The house mouse ranges between solid black and light brown, with a gray abdomen.

The deer mouse ranges between light brown and reddish/brown with round tip ears, white underside (abdomen, chest, and neck) and feet, and black eyes. The ears are hairy and slightly larger than those of the house mouse.

Another distinctive difference between the two rodents is their tails. The deer mouse’s tail is slightly longer than the house mouse tail.
