What attracts mice in your house?

Question: What attracts mice in your house?

Answer: Mice are attracted to your house by the need for three primary things in their environment to survive and reproduce: food, shelter and moisture. The typical home provides all three of these and if there are holes, cracks and gaps that allow mice to enter your home from the outside, mice will have all the basics they need to find your home attractive and welcoming.
