Re: HELP!!! NEED MICE ADVICE

May I ask, what is napalm and is it toxic?

Re: HELP!!! NEED MICE ADVICE

this is the reason why we now have regular pest control come to the house once a month. they take care of the inside and the outside. if we have any "problems" in between they will come out again at no charge

 

it costs us approximately $58 a month.

KKJ:  That was just me being sarcastic.  Napalm is highly toxic and normally used with flamethrowers or incendiary bombs.

I reiterate peppermint oil on cotton balls, also steel wool, coarse type and plaster any holes around radiators, molding etc.

Moth balls. They contain camphor and very few creatures like the smell of it.

I've heard that, but I have to say that I had peppermint oil soaked cotton balls all over my house and they did nothing.

I also heard putting scented dryer sheets around will repel mice but haven't tried it.

Peppermint oil (essential) worked for me, too. One under sink, couple on the counter, some dripped in garage, no more mice. And son plugged up holes by stove and furnace with steel wool and duct tape, once we found them. (newly bought old home)
