When the weather starts cooling down in Wisconsin, mouse activity almost always increases. This is not random. Mice are responding to temperature changes and food availability. As nights get colder, they begin searching for warm sheltered spaces to nest, and homes offer exactly what they need.Most homeowners assume mice come in through large holes. In reality, a mouse only needs a gap about the size of a dime. Common entry points include areas where utility lines enter the home, gaps under siding, and small cracks along the foundation. Once inside, mice tend to stay hidden, which is why many infestations go unnoticed at first.Hearing scratching in walls or ceilings is usually a sign that mice have already settled in. Traps can help reduce numbers, but without sealing entry points, the problem often continues. New mice simply replace the ones that are removed.Effective rodent control focuses on exclusion first. When access points are sealed and exterior pressure is reduced, the infestation stops growing. This approach prevents repeat issues and protects your home long term.
