What does the fieldmouse do during the long, dark winter months?
Answers
Similar to other species of mice, field mice can’t hibernate. That’s why they have to get creative to survive the winter.
Field mice tend to construct small nests out of a wide variety of materials. Their nests usually end up looking like clumps of grass, paper, fabric, insulation, and dust.
In the winter, field mice tend to build their nests in warm areas. They’ll fill out a nest in a burrow, or in an existing structure… like your home. In fact, the search for nesting materials may bring field mice closer to your home. They’ll pull loose insulation or fabric materials away from vulnerable areas of your home. If, while they’re scavenging materials, they happen to find a way in, they’ll take it!

Usually, field mice infestations occur when the mice are trying one of the winter survival techniques listed above. Field mice infestations are especially common in rural or wooded areas.
Field mice infestations usually start in your basement, crawl space, or attic. To stop mice from getting in, patch up gaps in your walls, especially around utility lines and sills. Pay special attention to your dry food and make sure it’s secured in airtight hard plastic containers
