uh oh. They "might" think the house is nicer when it gets cold.

a cat or lots of traps?

a groundhog, want to trade?

man, I hope they don't move inside

we've had mice dumb enough to come into a house with three - count'em 3 - active cats. Then we have a rodeo and mouse is delivered DOA.

when we lived in a house with mice, our cat Ajax would catch them at night and throw them neatly into the toilet. He didn't flush though.

I have two cats who are showing no interest at the moment. I may try shoving some corn starch under the deck and see if that works

it is supposed to expand with water and kill the mouse but leave a non toxic body

or maybe it's cornmeal, I can't remember

at least they aren't in the house...

Horribilis, that was a wonderful cat!!! you could forgive him for not flushing

I know raw rice is supposed to work that way. But if you put peanut butter away from the house in a hiding place, they might move operations

to where the peanut butter is. They love peanut butter.

I am up for trying almost anything, I don't want them moving in when it gets cold, nasty things

My golden alerted me to the mice, she sniffs around and chases them but never catches one

Yes, they pee everywhere, and anything they don't eat, they destroy along with what they ate. Dirty buggers. They belong outside.

peanut butter on traps worked out in the garage - they were hitting the traps as fast as I could empty them..
