They like to colonize in humans homes because they eat any type of human food but they are mainly on the look out for cereals and grains. when they have to set up a nest they go out to the wild specially on greenery areas and fields. The House mouse don't have loss of natives since they aren't aggressive species since they habitat in large territories. The male house mousse get aggressive male to male because they like to protect their territories. when female mouse are expecting they get aggressive with female mousses when they are out looking for food.
