Mice & Heat Refuge

The recent summer heatwave across North America has affected animals just as much as people. Like human beings, other animals, including mice, can suffer from the heat. If it gets too hot, mice can die.

While human beings are also susceptible to heat illnesses that can sometimes lead to death, we are able to tolerate higher temperatures than mice can.

Mice instinctively change their behavior when circumstances warrant. When temperatures outside start to climb above the level that they can tolerate, they seek cooler areas that provide relief from the oppressive heat. If the only place where they can find shelter is inside a human dwelling, then that is where they will go. Garages, basements, and wall cavities within air conditioned homes provide the perfect temperature for mice to thrive, and breed.
