The prior winter (2017-2018) we had a complete invasion of mice in the off-season. I made a trip up to our house about once a month to check on things, empty traps, etc. Was bringing up a new package of mouse traps each time. Sometimes bagging 5-7 mice per trip. All told, probably 30+ mice over the course of the fall/winter/early spring.

Fast forward to 2018-2019. NOT ONE MOUSE ANYWHERE! Why? Who knows?

We did plug up some cracks and crevices around pipes with spray foam in the crawlspace and I also stapled up some screen around where the pipes enter underneath the bathroom. We also did put some D-Con bait stations in the crawlspace, which I kept filled all winter long. So, not sure if it was one of these things or a combination of all of them -- or, that there just aren't as many mice this year. Would love to know why, but happy in either case.
