We use electronic “zappers”.
I’d like to know more. What model do you favor? tks

The problem I had was the darn mice went up and over any traps I laid. The little monsters are smart. The dog ignored them, some help she was.

So I checked around the internet and found some natural repellants, so that I didn't poison the stupid dog.

Baking soda and pure peppermint oil. The baking soda apparently does ugly things to the inside of a rodent and they go off and die, and rodents don't like the smell of peppermint oil.

Within 3 days, I never saw a mouse in the house again.

We won't discuss the bird that got in last week though. :-)

We were gifted with some gingerbread last Christmas. we learned that rats and mice LOVE gingerbread. :-)

As to birds, I got out of the van Sunday and a Grackle whizzed by my head and landed on the dash.
