Sealing Your Home
Mice are small creatures and can easily squeeze through gaps, they will probably be able to get through an open door or window so always make sure to have these closed if they don’t need to be open (especially at night as this is when mice are most active!). You should also go around the perimeter of your home to check for any cracks in the foundation and also to look for any open vents or pipes. Can mice climb up brick walls and get inside your attic? Yes, they can. Mice are great climbers and can climb brick walls and sliding. Make sure to seal the cracks and put screens over the vents/pipes to prevent mice from entering.
