Mouse habitats & Diet
Where do mice live in your home? Mice actually live in fields, thickets, trees, underground burrows, heap of debris and out buildings, but they switch over to human homes because of the following reasons:
- They run in to your home when winter sets on. The ground outside become frozen and mice see no plants, plant matters, insects, crawlers etc for food. In short they come in to your house to find food and they get it.
- They seek shelter in your homes in order to escape predators like hawks, eagles, crows, blue jay and owls. In fact owls can eat many mice during a night
- They get nest building materials quite easily from your home. they like to build their nests using shredded clothing and newspapers, spongy materials that they get from your sofa, mattress, carpet yarns, wires, insulation, cotton, wood scrapes from your garden fence and other similar materials
- In human homes they can take or eat whatever they want and without taking any permission from the inhabitants.
- Human homes offer several hiding places where they can build their nest in secret. They can go undetected for months because of the complex architecture of human homes.
- In human homes they can find their favorite food items such as nuts, grains, seeds, peanut butter, meat scraps, bird seeds, cattle feed etc with full freedom
Where do they build their shelter?
They build nests in wall voids, cavities in tree trunks, bushes and thickets, underground burrows, house foundation, basement, car garages, behind racks and shelves, behind kitchen refrigerator, cooking range, wardrobe, table drawers, store rooms with clutter, abandoned cardboard boxes, pile of woods in the yard, mound of trash, and any other place that offer secretive hiding place. Mice build nests usually near food source and that is the reason you will find them in kitchen, dining area and yards. Mice like the food items you carelessly throw away during a BBQ party and the food smell is a great attraction for mice. Mice like basement and crawl spaces because human do not frequent in these areas. Attic is another place where they like to build nests because of the same reason. You will also find mice nests on the roof, under floorboards, and in the false ceiling.
