I have a huge issue in my one barn. My brother in law says to put a hole in a garbage can stick in a peice of wood covered in oil, this stick leads into a barrel of water. GOOD BYE mice. I just can't figure out what to do with the bodies after? Just dump them over the fence? Hmmmmm
I will be using pepermint oil!
God Bless

For outside mice I recently saw an article about using barn owls to keep them away. Don't know if this really works or how practical it is, but it may help.

Angie: My husband used to use those kinds of traps before we were married, he said they worked great! I didn't want to use them because of our small kids. He called them either Montana Mousetraps or Mountain Mousetraps. I can't remember which!

My kitties are getting so elderly, I don't think they are mousing anymore. Angel is so old, in kitty years she is about 95. Deaf and just about all blind, but healthy, and happy. Badger was a great mouser, but he prefers now to hang out in my daughter's room all day. And Muffin, she is getting elderly, too.

what a great idea about the pepermint oil! Thanx...
we don't have mice inside the house but they do get into the garage and then get into my poor hubby's golf & fishing gear...one recently committed mousey suicide on hub's golf net...uuggh! we couldn't figure out where the smell was coming from until we finally moved the bikes....yep...Mickey is no longer with us!
