theabortionatorFirst mouse of the season spotted. Knew it would happen was hoping it would be longer. Hoping it's not a crazy issue and we can live normally without too much issue Nobody wants mice around but as long as they aren't eating into the food and shitting everywhere it is what it is. Happy I cleaned the fuck out of this place after everything.
Open to any suggestions. Allegedly dryer sheets can help. Down to replace them and keep them out if it keeps the mice issue down. leaving this place fucked with food for months was a big L for housing.
Hoping can make it work though.
My advice would be to find out where they are coming in from and seal that up then trap the ones inside. Worked wonders when we used to have them.
Traps work fine but you will just keep getting more if you don't find the root cause of the issue. All animals like to be warm and cozy during the winter and the food supply in a house is just too tempting. Also don't use poison...it'll kill cats, dogs, birds, or whatever is looking for a snack when they find it.
I've heard the same thing with dryer sheets, but I have only personally used those when I've put boxes in storage or whatever. Throw a few in the box and call it good. Never heard of them being used throughout a house.
