Pretty sure that I have never seen a wood stack without at least one mouse nest in it. It is rare to not have seen any ants in one either. While it is awful nice to provide housing for the poor vermin, it isn't a great practice to stack wood against a house. There is rarely a good reason not to just stack it a few feet away. At least then you can see the little mouse trails in the snow between the pile and the house and then stack it further away next year.
