You see a roach, a mouse sees a protein bar. Mice will eat anything, so they don’t have a problem eating roaches. Tasty, tasty protein. If you have a roach problem, you will almost definitely have a mouse problem, but not for the reason you may think.

Having a roach infestation is usually (but not always) a sign you have an abundant and easily accessible food source. Which means, you can have anything from ants to rats and in-between ravaging through your leftovers.

Do mice lead to rats? Not necessarily. The same factors that lead to mice lead to rats. However, rats are also predatory toward mice, so they will probably chase the mice away. The smell of a rat is enough to send a mouse running. So, on the bright side, rats will almost definitely fix your mouse problem. The bad news is you’re going to have a rat problem.
