Mice Infestation

Why Do Mice Like to Come Into Our Homes?

It doesn’t come as a surprise that mice have basic needs similar to that of humans. There’s no better place for mice to get their needs taken care of than in our homes. While a single mouse may consume just a little food in a day, they can cause substantial damage to your home when their number increases. They are high-maintenance guests that can increase your monthly budget, not only on food supplies but also in repairs and maintenance. What are these basic things that attract mice to our homes?

Mice Need Shelter

Mice are more or less like domestic animals. They don’t want to stay in the bush. They want a safe place to build their nests away from preying animals. Once in your house, they’ll look for hidden places like behind your appliances to build their nests. If you have some papers in your house, mice will tear them into pieces and use them to build their nests. Another problem associated with this is that the presence of mice in your home will invite other animals like snakes, birds, dogs, and cats into your home.

Find Food

Food is perhaps the main reason why mice like flocking in our homes. Mice like to feed on what humans eat. So if you have peanut butter, bread, vegetables, chocolates, or meat at home, they’ll most likely become your guests. Living in your home makes it easier for them to get the foods they want. They also need water, which will be plenty in your home.

Warmth

Mice like warm places. That’s why they will choose warm areas in your house to build their nests. You’ll find their nests up in the attic, near hot water tanks, under floorboards, or in cavity walls. The warm places are also great for their pinkies. Mark you, they give birth very fast and to many babies. If you don’t control them, they’ll turn your home into a mice den.

Mice are very destructive, and they are also known to transmit diseases. That’s why you need to call Mice Mob Exterminators whenever you notice them in your house. We’ll use professional methods to eliminate mice in your home, leaving it safe, clean, and livable.
