House mouse records in Kentucky follow human structures more than any particular landscape, with reports near Land Between the Lakes, Clarks River, and Reelfoot refuges likely tracing back to buildings and campgrounds rather than open wetland. NatureServe flags the species as exotic, not part of Kentucky’s native fauna.
Reports rise in March and again in October and November, months when mice commonly move toward structures as outdoor food and cover decline. With 38 total records split fairly evenly between iNaturalist and GBIF, this is a modest showing for a species most people encounter indoors rather than photograph as wildlife.
