Re: What do you do for mice problems.

I have never seen a baited trap not catch a mouse lickity split, when put where you know they go. I use peanut butter. That even gets the expert cheese snatch and runners. I figured the OP was looking for a mouse deterrent. Something to do that you don't have to maintain/check regularly. Not sure what's effective there. But set a trap and keep checking. If they are going where that trap is there will be a dead mouse. I use poison pellets in outbuildings. Gotta keep filling it. Get the small pellets, unless you are worried about rats. Mice take and store that stuff, but they also are eating it. So keep it up until the pellets stop being taken. I leave it out after that and keep checking, though, because a new family is always looking for your paradise.
