RE: Mice Repellent Recipes

Does any know if Downy dryer sheets will work.My cat Sookie does good in the kitchen but not in other places. I do use the glue traps but I have already had a problem with her and them,but veggie oil took the glue off. I don't use the poison because I also have a dog and another outside cat that like to mouse hunt and I don't want themto get sick. If the pepermint thing works I would like to know. Heck if anything works I'll try it.

RE: Mice Repellent Recipes

Hi everyone, I've just discovered this site because I also have mouse problems. Our neighbour works away, came back for an annual holiday to find the furniture stored in his garage had been eaten by mice. He cleared it all out, and we think that one or two mice took refuge in our kitchen.
I would never get a cat because here in the UK there are about 8 million pet cats, most of which are allowed to roam freely, killing birds and damaging other peoples gardens, and they are wondering why sparrows and other wild birds are becoming scarce!

My grandmother always had between 6 and 9 cats (one kept having kittens) around the house - it was always full of fleas and cat hairs (along with her cooking) - oh, and mice! They lived in every room, the cats ignored them!
Anyway, to my current problem. We have mice in the kitchen. I have bought a couple of humane traps and we caught one mouse, which we released at an ecology park a mile or so away.

We caught a couple more the next day, but they managed to get out again because we weren't quick enough to take them to the park. They haven't been near that one since, and have shown no interest in the second one so far. I've read your tips with interest and intend to try the peppermint, cloves etc. this evening. Will let you know how I get on. CarolAnn49
