Why do mice live in my house?

Mice are constantly in search of shelter and food, as many predators hunt mice all year round, such as foxes, cats, raptors, snakes and even some insects. In fall in particular, mice will seek to protect themselves from the cold of winter by taking refuge in buildings. Despite their small size, mice can damage a house and carry life-threatening diseases. This is particularly the case with the deer mouse, which carries hanta viruses, the cause of a particularly virulent form of pneumonia. This highlights the importance of proper mice removal and mice control.
