- Mice invade homes for food and warmth
Mice invade homes in winter because they like warm weather and your house provide warmth besides food items like cereals, nuts, seeds, cheese, butter etc. You can prevent mice from infesting your home by removing food items from table and shelving them in closed cabinets.

- Mice need protected areas for nests
Mice need to build shelter that is protected and warm. A nest built in your home serves two purposes, provides warm shelter and protection from airborne predators. Your house supplies them with plenty of nesting material made up of paper, cardboard boxes, woolen fibers, cotton stuffing from sofa, and fibrous material from wooden furniture and logs. Wall voids and crevices make ideal hiding places for them as they are difficult to access by human or pets like cats and dogs. Mice just need ¼ inch gap to squeeze through and they dig rest of the space and expand, so they can build a comfortable nest.
- Your home provides unused spaces
A house has many areas where inhabitants rarely visit during day or night. An attic, outhouse, garage, basement or storage is not often frequented by family members thus provide uninhabited spaces where mouse can build their nests quietly and breed. Your storage with cluster of cardboard boxes, old table drawers, shelves, garage and car hoods, attic with its loftiness, barns with their congestion offer convenient hiding places for mice and they find them most suitable to build nests.
Warm shelter, readily available food, concealed places and protection from predators force mice to take refuge in homes.
