[QUOTE="Star*, post: 149100, member: 4964"] Susie, Yes, - mice HATE peppermint - but it HAS to be peppermint oil. And you can put it on cotton balls and leave all over - but seriously? Go to Ace Hardware and get a live trap. In the trap put pnut butter. "Warning" mice breed faster than weeds. If you see one - you will have 13 in no time - I like the idea of a new cat - really would work to keep her home, BUT then you have the worry that a neighbor set out poison and the rat eats it - then looks for water the cat gets that rat and it's all over for both. When you buy the live trap - try not to touch it too much with bare hands (scent) and then set a few out - most times given the chance - they will run AGAINST something if you put it in the corner they will avoid it like the plague (oh that is almost funny - rats caused the plague, well really infected FLEAS on rats caused the plague) but you get my drift. Oh and FYI - Moles hate juicy fruit. We find the tunnels - and poke a hole and put a stick in the tunnel. But if you have moles you have grubs and there is nothing holistic and natural that I'm aware of that kills life s()cking grub worms. Go for some live traps - oh and if the live traps are not used in say 3-4 days - THEN you have field mice bigger than the holes and that means they are breeding and THAT means you are going to have to do something less humane because they WILL come in looking for water and nesting material. Sorry - I caught ours and set them free 2 miles from the house. The babies were so cute - that's pretty much what we caught in the live traps - they were small enough to get in the hole. :dissapointed: [/QUOTE]
