The house mouse is probably the most common rodent pest in most parts of the world. In the Bay Area, mice not only live inside, but outside near foundations; in shrubbery, weeds, crawl spaces, basements, or garages. Mice eat almost anything, but prefer cereal grains, seeds, or sweet material requiring very little water to survive.

When the colder months hit they move inside nesting closer to a food supply. These nest are found in many places including: in walls, ceiling voids, storage boxes, drawers, under major appliances, or within the upholstery of furniture.  Mice are excellent climbers, jumping up to a foot high; however they are color blind and can’t see clearly beyond six inches. Remember the children’s song “Three Blind Mice?”
