Why Deer Mice Keep Coming Back

Deer mice are small rodents with brown or gray fur, white feet and a sharply contrasting white underside. They are strong climbers and may nest in garages, sheds, attics, wall voids and stored materials.

If food sources, clutter and entry gaps remain available, new mice can continue entering even after visible activity declines.
