Have you seen some underground activity under your bird feeders, around your wood piles, or near the kitchen? The rodent does not hibernate, and has a way of keeping very busy during times where they need to stay warm. The increased cold creates a food frenzy of sorts, so you can trust your mouse population is huddled warm in their nest with your peanut, bird food, or pet's dinner in their nest.
To avoid any problems with mice, keep all your food in snap top food containers, and try to toss out food as soon as you are finished with it. A pizza box left on the coffee table, can be a mouse invitation!
We had so many mice under our bird feeders until we upgraded to more squirrel proof feeders! They are not always so great at keeping the mice away perfectly, as no feeder is 100% squirrel proof, but, it does a great job of keeping the situation more under control. Our bird food is stored in metal containers in the yard, and we have our wood on the outer edges of our yard.
These are great options for keeping your birds happy and fed, and the mice less than satisfied. Keep on top of your food, and you will be more inclined to have less mice and a healthy environment.
