Why Do I Have Mice In My House And What Should I Know About Mouse Urine?

But The Number 1 Reason For 'Mice In The House
Our construction methods enable mice to take full advantage of us and most of us home owners don't have a clue or learn the hard way. Upon the foundation the brick layer forms a layer of weep holes for wall ventilation, they are left wide open. The home builder doesn't bring this up in the sale of the home because they don't want purchasers to think their house might have mice. Rather than install covers they leave it out of sight out of mind. The HVAC company installs the furnace and AC and leaves gaps where pipes pass through the wall. The Siding company installs the soffit and facia with a natural gap between the brick wall. The roofer installs the roof without reinforcing certain jointsand vents against penetration by wildlife. The Overhead door installer is dealing with in imperfect garage floor and leaves a small opening in the closed position. And the list goes on and the list doesn't address older style homes with wooden exteriors.
