Lawful good just leads to mice, which is more cruel than good imo. Mice are incapable of self regulating population, they will boom and suffer en masse without predators.

Somebody explain this to the trees that drop millions of nuts in the surrounding forest every few years skyrocketing not only rodent populations but also their parasites; ticks, chiggers, fleas. Predators are here, but they can't seem to catch up to the mouse output.

It's called a mast year. Every 3 to 5 years the trees in an area produce an enormous amount of fruit, then on the next year it's super low. Scientists think the trees produce more mast (botanical term for fruit of forest trees and shrubs, like acorns etc) than the animals could possibly eat, which guarantees that some seeds can grow into saplings. We don't know exactly what triggers it though.

Mice in your home is more a problem of class than alignment.

A nice gated suburb might be less likely than a home in the hills or a manufactured home near a field, but I assure you that mice don't give a f*** how much you make in a year.

Pest control services are popular in the suburbs

Lived on a rural farm most of my life and never had issues with mice in bread boxes.

We're talking about D&D, I wasn't making a deeper commentary on real world socioeconomic status.

I've seen rats in rather expensive parts of Moscow.
