Earlier in the spring, we heard a rustling in our walls and crawlspace. We started inspecting our home, looking for any entrance holes. Sure enough, we found a nest of garbage and insulation behind some stored tiles with a handy path behind our furnace. The rodents had chewed a hole in the back of the container we stored our dog food in. It was entirely covered from view by the container stacked above.
We trapped the area and captured 3 mice. My husband filled any potential holes to inside and we also replaced our dryer vent, which needed it badly. All the noises have stopped so I think we are in the clear until next winter.

One thing, our OLD style of dryer vents are no longer approved ones. They need to be fixed stove pipe style, not expandable..either plastic or foil wrapped. We had an audit our house done and that was a huge no-no. Check with your home insurance...fire hazards are things can change before the fact.
