What are effects of an increase in the mouse population?

An increase in the mouse population can lead to several ecological and economic effects. It may result in greater competition for resources among local wildlife, potentially displacing native species. Additionally, a higher mouse population can exacerbate agricultural damage, as they may feed on crops and stored grains, leading to economic losses for farmers. Moreover, increased mouse populations can heighten the risk of disease transmission to humans and pets, as they can carry various pathogens.
