One morning, you discover some black droppings near the refrigerator. One evening, you hear a peculiar rustling noise in the wall and jump. What if your residence has new, unwelcome tenants? The mice have returned, but why did they choose your home? Most importantly, how do you get rid of them without transforming your living room into a battleground?

Why do mice welcome themselves inside your house?

An escape from the cold

As soon as the temperature decreases, mice seek warmth and safety. Your well-insulated home becomes the perfect cocoon. They find pleasant shelter there, similar to a mountain refuge in the winter, but without having to pay rent!

An all-you-can eat buffet

Crumbs left under the table, a partially closed trash can, or an open bag of cat food… This is a three-star meal for a mouse! They have an extraordinary sense of smell and can discover even the smallest food source.

Unexpected access

A crack beneath the door, a hole in the wall, a water pipe… Mice can squeeze through apertures as small as 6 millimeters. Needless to say, a simple, improperly installed seal can become a rat highway.
