Q. Can mice really travel along electrical lines to get inside a building? I’m worried that mice might be following our lines and getting into the attic.
A. It’s very possible for mice to walk lines or cables and enter your attic around the opening where the lines enter the building if that opening has not been caulked or sealed. Mice have extraordinary physical abilities. They can climb and run along pipes, cables, and electrical lines. They can even travel for considerable distances upside down.

A. It’s true. If you have bird feeders outside and you don’t diligently clean up spilled and scattered seed, you will probably eventually have mice move in to the area to take advantage of the free food. Mice feed on many different kinds of foods, and seeds, especially sunflower seeds, are one of their favorites.
