What Attracts Mice to Your Home?
Why Mice Choose Your Newton Property
Understanding what attracts mice helps you eliminate conditions that invite infestations. Newton Pest Control explains the factors that draw mice to homes throughout Greater Boston and what you can do to make your property less appealing.
Food Sources Mice Seek
Mice need only small amounts of food daily. They are attracted to:
- Crumbs on floors and counters
- Open food packages in pantries
- Pet food left in bowls overnight
- Birdseed in feeders or spilled on ground
- Unsealed garbage containers
- Grease and food residue on appliances
Water and Moisture
Mice require water sources. Leaky pipes, dripping faucets, pet water bowls, condensation in basements, and poor drainage create attractive conditions. Bathrooms and kitchens with moisture problems often have more mouse activity.
Shelter and Nesting Sites
Mice seek warm, protected spaces to nest and raise young. Your home provides ideal shelter from New England weather. Favorite nesting locations include wall voids, attics, basements, storage areas with clutter, and spaces behind appliances.
Seasonal Factors
Fall and winter bring increased mouse pressure as outdoor temperatures drop. Mice instinctively seek indoor shelter before cold weather arrives. September through February are peak months for mouse infestations in Massachusetts.
Outdoor Conditions
Dense vegetation near foundations, leaf piles, woodpiles stored against homes, and overgrown shrubs provide cover for mice approaching your property. Bird feeders attract mice with spilled seeds.
