signs of mice

Did you know mice can squeeze in through any crack or crevice as small as one-fourth of an inch in diameter? That’s about the size of an eraser cap point! Mice do have bones, but…

Today you will learn how to know where to look for mouse entry points. Previously, you learned that mice can fit into any opening one-fourth of an inch in diameter: the size of an eraser cap tip. Mice search for and find many little openings in a home through which they can squeeze.
They don’t have very good eyesight so they run right next to a structure. As their fur brushes up against the structure, it leaves pheromones, just like the droppings and urine they continuously leave. This alerts other mice of their presence and that your home or business may be a safe, warm home for them.
Mice often look for man-made openings, like an air-conditioning line or laundry vent. But if those don’t work, oftentimes Minnesota’s changing of seasons can create little cracks and crevices wide enough for mice to squeeze into.
