Didn't some one a while back post Irish Spring bar soap deters mice? Help!!
I am terrified of mice getting into my stuff, so I do everything (...literally):
Sticky traps - check
Snap traps baited with peanut butter - check
Plug in ultra sonic noise maker - check
Irish spring soap - check
Peppermint oil on cotton balls - check
Bounce dryer sheets - check
"Cab fresh" deterent from Tractor Supply store - check
Poison cubes from TSC - check
Basement cat - check
Bucket of antifreeze with spinning pop can, baited with peanut butter - check
I've seen them eat the Irish spring, make a nest with the dryer sheets and poop on the sonic noise thing (probably as a protest).
I've had the best success with the good old fashioned snap traps (placed strategically so they have to get through a small area to get at them, or placed in pairs so that they get hit with one while they are distracted by the other). Lately I have even been getting them without bait by placing the snap trap in high traffic areas. And the bucket, since it can get multiple victims without resetting.
