They can shimmy up a cable or brace themselves against a pipe, gutter,
etc. I had them in an attic when I moved in. You can trap,poison,etc
but ultimately you're going to have to find where they're getting in
unless you just have one of those houses with a million places they
can get in at.

I finally located several places they could get in. Closed them off.
no more problems. Also cut back tree branches, etc. They have to be
getting in somehow...finding its a bitch though as they can make it in
very small places. I have concrete barrel roof tiles, lucked out an
found a 1 inch hole in a worn sheathing section underneath a tile.

good luck.

Hi All: I just noticed recently that there are mice (or equivalent
rodent) in my attic. I can hear them in the upstairs wall near a
radiator. I went up into the attic ( I have a cape with an attic) and
I found some plastic bags chewed up.
I am try to figure out how they are getting is it possible for them to
climb up the side of the house on a cable? I can't find any holes or
spaces at ground level.
