How soaps and candles may be attracting mice to your home
Unsuspecting homeowners are surprised to find mice in bathrooms and cupboards, drawn by scented soaps and candles. These items release persistent chemical signals, mimicking natural food and habitat cues. Mice investigate and repeatedly visit these areas due to stable, enclosed storage conditions, not for food. Experts advise airtight storage and better ventilation to deter them.
