Rodent Awareness Week. One entry point to check this weekend: the garage door.
The rubber seal along the bottom of a garage door wears out, cracks, or gets chewed at the corners. That leaves a gap at each end, and it's often more than a mouse needs.
Easy test: during the day, close the door, turn the garage lights off, and look at the bottom corners. If you can see daylight, a mouse can see a way in. Test and comment "light" or "no light."
The seal is usually a simple fix. Finding the rest of the entry points is what an inspection is for.
