Any areas with sufficient food sources and hiding places make good habitats for clever and adaptable house mice. They are commonly found in farms, houses, and businesses, and are capable of living in a wide range of climates. House mice have been found in corn fields, fast food restaurants, the open arctic tundra, and underground coal mines over 1,800 feet below the surface of the earth. In the wild, house mice tend to burrow underground, while they often reside in walls, furniture, or appliances in human habitations. Their nests are made up of shredded fibers, papers, or cloths and are constructed in sheltered locations.
