Why are mice invading my house and what can I do to get rid of them?

One morning, black droppings near the fridge. One evening, a furtive rustling in the walls. What if your house wasn’t quite yours anymore? Many French women have already experienced this scene worthy of an animated film (but without the cutesy side). Mice sometimes invite themselves into our homes, unannounced. But why do they choose your house? And above all, how can you politely convince them to move elsewhere? Follow the guide, without panic and without cruel traps.

A cozy cocoon against the cold

 As soon as the mercury drops, mice look for a warm spot to hide. Like us, they flee the cold, drafts, and humidity. Your home, with its well-insulated walls and cozy rooms, seems like a little paradise to them. They don’t need much: a little warmth, a dark corner… and presto, they’re settled in. It’s a bit like leaving a hot water bottle and a blanket near a 24-hour hotel.
