Yes, they might come inside - if they can get in! I've never known field mice to actually nest indoors though - even in an unoccupied property. They like to come and go ... your best bet is to check your property and block up any gaps where they might get in.

Thankyou very much for your reply gt43 iys much appreciated
I have much the same problem.. My neighbour is actually feeding the 'cute little mice' his words not mine!! I have even seen them crawl up walls so I have to keep my windows shut. I don't know if field mice do come in doors, I'm sure they would given half the chance! Someone told me when checking for gaps and holes round your house, if a pencil fits through the gap so can a mouse!
Good luck.
