RATS! JUST RUIN HOME!
Vermin, they can ruin your lives and property. I hope we had but no Today we have no Pied Piper who can drown these wretched pets, but yes, we do have some sure fire methods that can settle them for good. In case your house/property is under attack by mice, these should help you definitely :
• Check and plug all holes outside your house including the smallest ones (a mouse can crawl through space as small as the tip of the little finger!). These are ideal places for mice to hide and breed.
• Do not leave any food material, including garbage in the open. Once mice are starved they will definitely leave the house in search for greener pastures.
• Poison pellets and traps work well to get rid of mice. Ideally use pellets that force mice to come out in the open and die.
• Do not handle dead vermin with bear hands. They are known to carry deadly diseases! Wear gloves while handling them!
• This may sound simplistic, but no trap can beat the work of a cat. So get a feline companion who will get rid of the trouble makers.
Mice are not a reflection on your sanitary concepts. These mammals breed at a super rate – over 13 litters a year, so getting rid of one won’t work!

No, silverfish and other insects will. If you have an old house mice may become a problem if there is a steady food source, usually in late Fall. Mice would use the papers to build nests, but wouldn't come or stay because of the paper. Mice are usually harmless and can be controlled easily.
Rats come due to extreme squalor and filth, leaky pipes could add to the problem as well. I have been told that once rats infest they never leave, sometimes homes have to be burned due to rat infestation, rats carry disease bearing fleas, their feces are a potential health risk, rat urine can also be a health risk, not to mention potential rat bites.

Mice come into a house because the weather is cooling off, and they are looking for shelter. Yes they will build nests out of most anything including paper. Rats are looking for food, so if you have lots of garbage lying around better clean it up. Mice are a seasonal problem. Use mouse bait like D-Con to help with the problem.

Store your "old but important" papers in sealed storage boxes or file cabinets.
Mice and rats might come you your house for a plethora of reasons - food, shelter, warmth. But they will use things like paper to build nests between your walls, in basements, attics and dark little corners. So store your papers where mice can't get to them, and you'll be fine.

no, mice will not enter your house BECAUSE of old papers, their is no actual reason for mice to enter your house, they simply do, Its the condition of the house that determines if they stay and/or multiply. If the Papers are not kept in a hidden place then it is likely that the mice( if they are in your home) will use them as nesting material.

as long as you keep them neatly packed, then no, but if they are just thrown about in a big heap then yes.
Have you ever watched that show Clean Sweep on TLC? if your "junk room" with all those important papers is like that, you are begging for mice.

yeah, and they come in through holes and like the guy said it is not a reflection of how you keep your house....it's a matter of them nesting there.....If you have a problem....try looking all through your house to find any open holes....and fill them with steel wool that usually helps......and of course no paper if possible...try storing foods in containers....
