I have a possible solution for mice...moth balls.

About 2 months ago I was in my basement & I heard a mouse scratching...I tossed about 6 moth balls around because it was the only thing I had at the moment (only 6 in various places because I didn't want to stink up the house with moth balls).

Now the nights are getting into the 40's and that's when the mice like to come inside...so I set out 4 glue traps and a few poison baits (as usual for autumn).

After 2 weeks I have nothing in the traps and no baits have been touched.

I think the moth balls annoyed any critters enough to leave.
