What starts off as one or two soon becomes as many as 60 – then you have a heavy infestation on your hands. A mouse usually lives for one year in the wild – in that time the female can produce up to 5 or 6 litters of 10 mice at a time. In the house where they have a constant supply of food and warmth their life expectancy increases along with the number of offspring they can produce.
