Mice are very skilled climbers, they can easily climb brick, wires, wood, and downspouts giving them access to all levels or any structure. Since mice are rodents it makes this especially troublesome when your habitat is now also theirs for a number of reasons. For instance they chew on things such as electrical wires, furniture, internal and external caulking. Mice also make habitats by burrowing into things such as insulation, boxes placed in attics and basement containing storage and between walls as well as floors. Not only does this pose a risk of fires, or weather damage, mice also carry diseases all potentially putting your family at risk.
