Mice
Mice come from the outside, so that’s where to begin. They live around our yards and fields all the time, with some years (and areas) being worse than others. New construction often causes problems in newly-developed areas. Mice are driven mostly by curiosity, and will enter any hole or crack they find in a structure. If they find it better on the inside, than it is on the outside, you have mice. Usually you don’t see the mice. You discover that they’ve been there. By finding their droppings on your kitchen counters, pantries, drawers or cabinets. That doesn’t mean you can’t find them other places. Once they gain access to your home, they can get virtually anywhere.
Rodent Proofing Your Home
Naturally, rodent-proofing your house is a necessity. It is imperative that you do this. A mouse can fit in a hole the size of a dime. If your little finger goes in there, the mouse can. Once inside, mice can get anywhere. You start from the OUTSIDE, not the inside. Walk around your house, check for any entrance points that mice can use to enter. Do this at least every year. Make sure all windows and doors (garage doors too) are weather-stripped properly, have someone inside your basement or crawl space shine a strong light (at night) towards the outside while you circle the outside at the same time. Holes and other flaws may show up under the strong light, eliminating a mouse problem you might not have found otherwise.
If you have an attached garage, you are especially prone. Garage doors never fit like an ordinary door, and can allow easy access for mice. Use the same light trick to discover if your garage allows the easy entrance for mice. Check the garage more often, especially if it’s attached to your house. Once mice are in an attached garage, the rest of the house is easily available.
