Why Fall Brings Mice Indoors: What Homeowners Need to Know
Why does fall bring mice indoors? As a homeowner, renter or business owner, here’s what you need to know:
Warmth
As weather becomes cooler, mice and rats are looking to move their nests somewhere warm. Attics, garages, sheds, basements and wall spaces are perfectly hidden and cozy during the cooler months.
Food
Along with being warm, homes offer a steady food source during fall and winter when outdoor food sources become scarce. Mice and rats are attracted to trash, compost, pantry items, pet food, bird seed and more.
Water
In order to survive, mice and rats require a steady source of water. As standing water dries up and eventually freezes over, they are forced to find alternative water sources. This can come in the form of leaky pipes, drains, leaky faucets, clogged eaves and pet dishes.
