How they look?
A House Mouse will have tail which is double of its body length, while the Deer Mouse will have a tail which measures only half body length. House mice have pinkish feet while Deer Mice have white coloration on their feet. Both like to live in an environment which is totally concealed. When they build nests outdoors they choose brush, thicket, and dense vegetation so their nest is not visible to others. When these mice species take shelter in human habitat they will choose industrial buildings, warehouses, business establishments, barns, dog houses, sheds and even lawns that have thick grass. House Mouse however prefer to live with human thus find crevices and holes on the walls, attic, store rooms, garage, shelves, cupboards, cabinets, sofa, dressers etc most convenient nesting places.
