Mouse
Where does the Mouse live?
Depending on the species, mice may live in forests, grasslands, or manmade structures.
Mice usually make burrows underground or find shelter in hidden areas near food sources.
Some common places where mice live, hide, or nest are:
Inside or beneath kitchen and bathroom cabinets
Inside or behind cabinet or desk drawers
Under or behind kitchen appliances
Under furniture or inside upholstered furniture voids
In secluded corners of cluttered rooms, garages or attics
Inside stored cardboard boxes
In wall voids or crawl spaces
They eat a variety of foods, such as fruits, seeds, grains, and insects.
Mice are also social animals, and they often live in groups with a dominant male and several females.
Mice can reproduce quickly, and a female mouse can have up to 10 litters of 3 to 14 young per year.
Mice have many predators, such as cats, birds, snakes, and foxes, so they need to be alert and agile to survive.
Mice are also known to carry diseases, such as hantavirus and salmonella, that can infect humans.
Therefore, it is important to prevent and control mice infestations in homes and buildings.
