Why do I have a mouse infestation at home and how do I keep them away? | May 12, 2025

One morning, you notice black droppings near the fridge. One evening, a strange rustling noise in the wall makes you jump. What if your house has new tenants… uninvited ones? The mice are back, but why have they chosen your home? And most importantly, how do you get rid of them without turning your living room into a battlefield?
Why do mice invite themselves into your home?
A refuge from the cold
As soon as the temperature drops, mice seek warmth and security. Your well-insulated home becomes an ideal cocoon. Much like a mountain refuge in winter, they find cozy shelter there… but without paying rent!

An all-you-can-eat buffet
Crumbs left under the table, a loosely closed trash can, or an open bag of cat food… This is a feast worthy of a three-star restaurant for a mouse! They have an exceptional sense of smell for detecting even the slightest food source.

Unsuspected access
A gap under the door, a hole in a wall, a water pipe… Mice can squeeze through openings as small as 6 mm. Suffice it to say, a simple, poorly fitted seal can become a rodent highway.
