Is it true that mice are more likely to be in frame houses vs. brick houses?

Question

I ask because I am scared to death of them and a co-worker told me that they can get in brick homes too. I thought if you lived in a brick home that's on the ground and not "uplifted" like many older houses are, that mice don't usually get in.

Answer 1

mice can get almost anywhere they can if they are determined enough. They can climb and slip through the smallest of holes.

Answer 2

My wife and I just built a brand new brick house in the country, three years ago, and despite the newness of the house, some mice got in. My wife and I put in the typical mouse traps and some kind of sonar thing that you plug in and it sends some kind of sound "beeps" which humans cannot hear, and the mice and roaches cannot stand it. As a result, we got rid of all the mice. We never had a roach problem, but living in the country as we do, field mice are a plenty, as are molls, so, we deal with them, and we win. They're nothing to be scared of. They're at least as scared of you as you are of them, and you can easily kill them and use those sonar plug-ins, and you won't have a mouse problem anymore. God Bless you.

Answer 3

I have an old brick home, built in the 20s, and I have seen a few mice. I also have cats. Problem solved.

Answer 4

Well I live in an all brick home that was built in the 50s. We have been here for 10 years now and never have had a mouse in here. I live in northern Michigan so keeping the chipmunks at bay is another thing, lol.

Answer 5

Not true, We moved into a brand new home in a brand new estate with all brick and cement and we had a mouse problem. I thought that i would be safe in a clean brand new home from any vermin

Answer 6

Mice don't care about what style of house you have. They can get into any house that is not properly sealed. We pay for routine maintenance service from Orkin to keep everything out of our homes. You might want to consider that.
