Deter Mice With Crushed Red Pepper

When I was young, I lived in a lot of rented houses that had mice. After not controlling the population with traditional methods, we tried this with much success. Locate the mouse hole, if you are that lucky, and cover it with a piece of duct tape that has been sprinkled with a good amount of crushed red peppers, like you get from the pizza parlor.

I also tried this home remedy, given to me from my grandmother. but unfortunately the outcome wasn't as conquorous. But I found that the store bought "DECON" was a great success.
