Mice eat roaches. A typical mouse diet can include cockroaches. Mice eat roaches both German and American varieties. Rats also happily dine on various species of cockroach, both large and small. Mice have even been included as one of the top three enemies of cockroaches (with humans listed as the number two enemy, and cockroaches themselves as their own worst adversary, due to their habit of eating their own kind).
Although mice will eat cockroaches, these rodents should not be relied
on for pest control around your home, garage or yard. While cockroaches are unwanted pests for a variety of valid reasons, mice can also become a nuisance on your property. These creatures carry diseases, destroy property and reproduce quickly, often leading to infestations that can be difficult to control.
Furthermore, cockroaches are often rather difficult for mice to catch, whereas people provide both rats and mice with far more readily accessible food sources in their pantries and pet bowls. This means cockroaches might be more of an occasional treat than a mainstay in a mouse’s diet.
If you have mice or cockroaches—or both—in your home, they should be treated as the pests that they are, and eliminated as quickly, safely and thoroughly as possible. Read on to learn more about mice habits and what to do if you find evidence that these pests are active in your home.
What do mice eat?
If you believe what you see in cartoons, you would think that mice eat cheese. Actually, they like to eat fruits, seeds and grains. They are omnivorous, which means they eat both plants and meat, and the common house mice will eat just about anything it can find. In fact, if food is scarce, mice will even eat each other.
Mice have voracious appetites. They eat around 15 to 20 times per day, so they build their homes nearby places that have readily accessible food sources.
