In the winter it's from the garage. Keep the overhead closed, set traps
there and look for a small hole in the gypsum that separates the garage from
the house (they'll chew into the wall where there's hiding room, behind
furnature, workbench, etc.). They can also squeeze under the door between
the garage and house.

This is where mice, in numbers, were entering my house. I finally built a
seperate garage and walled up and sided the end of the house that had the
garage door. I put out mouse bait and in a few days consumption of it
ceased. That was over a year ago. Since then I have not seen any evidence of
mice in the house.
