Mice Do Not Hibernate
During the cold winter months, many animals go into hibernation until warmer weather arrives. However, mice remain active all winter long and build nests, forage for and collect food and raise their families in your attic, crawl space or in the walls. They might even destroy your home's insulation to make comfy nests. When spring arrives, mice that have already made themselves comfortable inside your home are unlikely to leave, especially if they feel safe.Mice Stay Near Available Resources
