Why house mouse pressure is specific to Ocean Park
Ocean Park house mouse pressure has the same multi-shelter pattern as Norway rats but more frequent low-level activity because mice tolerate smaller spaces and disperse from outbuildings to the main house more readily. Detached garages, garden sheds, pool equipment rooms, and outbuilding workshops are typical mouse establishment sites — populations build there for months before mice migrate into the main house through covered breezeway connections, attached-garage interior doors, or utility-tunnel routes. Mature trees provide branch access to soffit returns. Compost setups and chicken coops act as attractants. Older Ocean Park homes (some pre-1980 with original construction details) have foundation gaps and crawlspace vents that have aged out. Estate-scale property maintenance often deprioritises the small-detail sealing work mice exploit.
