How big is a mouse territory? How far do mice travel from their nest or for food?

Dealing with mice cannot be considered as an easy thing to do as you may assume. That’s because you will need to pay your attention to numerous factors to get rid of them. Out of those factors, you need to have a strong understanding about mouse territory. In addition to that, you need to have a clear idea about the distance that mice are looking forward to traveling in search of food as well. Mice are creatures, who have smaller defined living areas. You will not be able to see those traveling longer distances. In fact, you will see that mice prefer to restrict themselves to an area of around 25 feet from the home. They will not even think about traveling more than 50 feet away from the home in search of food. This will not happen even when the food is scarce. In case if you notice mice droppings at a distance of 30 feet apart from each other, you need to understand that you are dealing with the frustration caused by a few different mice families. This can lead you towards the hassle of getting all of them removed.

Another trait that you can find about mice is that they prefer to live in groups. If you can see one mouse, there is a high possibility to have many others. In fact, you must be having a small family of mice in the garage or house. This social hierarchy can be found in all the different mice varieties that you can find out there in the world. In fact, the male mice are responsible for keeping this social hierarchy going strong. Another thing that you need to know about mice is that they are territorial creatures. They will mark the territory with the help of urine. This is the main reason why you will have to deal with mice urine, while you are having mice around the house. You will be able to find mice passing urine all over the house. You will be able to find more mice urine in the areas where mice can travel with comfort. You should also keep in mind that mice have the ability to get anywhere in your house as well. In fact, mice are capable of getting through even the tiniest areas that you can find in your house. If there is an area with a gap of around ¼ inches, mice will be able to get through it with ease. This is equivalent to the size of an eraser or a pencil. They just need to make sure that they can fit in the head to get through the hole. Then they will be able to get the rest of the body with ease. Likewise, mice are excellent climbers as well. Hence, dealing with mice at your home can become a real challenge.
