We have tried putting her hair in parts that she can't reach, the smell of her tends to ward off the mice.

Between Doc and our barn cat, we rarely saw evidence of little critters. <br />I used a live trap for ground squirrels, and would take them 5 miles away. In some ways I thinking a swift death is not such a terrible option.Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-66774262377867238362012-12-30T21:52:06.198-05:002012-12-30T21:52:06.198-05:00We're lucky Margeaux & Maizee do their job...We're lucky Margeaux & Maizee do their job.

Brian, my husband, catches mice in "mice cubes" -kind traps that have the door you describe. He used to release them at the back of our yard and of course, the mice would just come back inside. Now, he takes them to the Appalachian trail each day when he runs and releases them there. He and I still worry that we are being unkind because what about their families - what if it was a nursing mom, etc. Our Noodlebug usually keeps the population down "naturally" which is still horrible. It is a never ending question. Good luck - sorry no help here!juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-19084868507349576712012-12-30T16:38:25.172-05:002012-12-30T16:38:25.172-05:00The live traps are great, but you'll have to r...The live traps are great, but you'll have to re-locate them far, far away and that doesn't stop new mice from moving in.<br /><br />When it comes to mice, I'm all about killing them. Especially since the barn cats aren't doing it. How do you feel about a pet snake?GunDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965363044411500380noreply@blogger.com
