We live in an old house and I wish we had the time, money, and patience to close off every opening/crevice to our home, from attics, walls, crawlspace, etc. but that seems impossible. We also have two dogs, so poisons are too big of a risk. Does anyone have rodent control suggestions? I have some traps in the crawlspace, I'll work on getting peppermint oil and boxes of mothballs. (We're not cat people.) Gosh, I feel like we have NO options, but if you any ideas, I'd love to hear about it! Thank you!
A hunter told me that RED FOX URINE _ bought at the sports store- sprayed around the attic (or whereever you need to repel rats and mice)--works well. PEE YEWWWW hold your breath while spraying--but no rats in the attic since I started this!
Coca Cola will kill rodents? I feel like it's too good to be true, because it seems easy! Thank you, ang, for your post! Any others hear of this? Quite amazing!
I stuff steelwool in all the cracks and around the pipes that come through the floor. I also use glue traps where the dogs cannot get them. glue traps go into a bucket up water when filled and then into the garbage. I use blocks of dehydrating poisen behind things dogs cannot get..
I don't know what type of rodents you have but I have heard of people using hair clippings (from the barber shop) to keep animals away in gardens. They may be worth a try in the out of the way places in your house.
I too am unwilling to use poisons, even weed killer, because of my dogs. Other than live trapping or finding some natural thing they hate I don't know what to do besides filling the holes in. I would do an internet search for some natural repellents too.
