Vita, you are the most positive woman and I love watching your videos. Please continue to have a positive attitude and stay strong. The world is behind Ukrainians. Slava Ukraini ❤
🙏♥️♥️♥️ Thank you!
@@ThinkUkraine I’ve had the same battle with rural mice in my house In America we have a mouse bait called “Tomcat” bait. They’re safe around pets because the mice enter the trap, eat the bait, and usually go off to die, all why your cat and dog are safe. It worked for me. Slava Ukraini
@@user-is9vp9gs3g what happens if your cat or dog eats or picks up a dead poisoned mouse?
@@Elizabeth-aka-PippiYou think right
@Elizabeth-aka-Pippi it will die.
As a British person who likes gardens, I appreciate the time an effort you are putting in for your family ❤️..you are doing a great job!..Slava Ukraine!..🇬🇧🇺🇦👍
🙂 Thank you!♥️🇬🇧♥️🇺🇦♥️
She makes the best of a tough life. I admire her perseverance.
♥️♥️♥️Thank you!
When I see you driving on the highways on your way to your village, I think, "This could easily be the USA." Even though I'm half Ukrainian and will support Ukraine until I die, it makes me want to support Ukraine even more. I will Never Give Up :) Slava Ukraini!

Thanks for another great video. It's always nice to see Ukraine in another perspective, under attack still, but a little refreshing by your videos. Thank you👍🤗👍.

Thank you!🙂♥️♥️♥️
Hi Vita, 🌻🍀🌺🌸🌼🥀🌷💐🥀🌹my contribution to your garden!
🙂🙂🙂 Thank you!♥️
Amazing content. Stay safe🇺🇦🫡
♥️♥️♥️ Thank you!
I can understand having trouble sleeping through it. It's not the sirens so much, but those explosions-- I could feel them through the headphones.
I love watching your videos. They are always full of humor but above all very touching. If one day I go to Ukraine I will visit all the DIY shops and tree nurseries, I am sure I will find you there. Stay safe. Never give up!
🙂 Thank you so much!♥️♥️♥️
Humor, yes, but also it's their reality, in such situation people everything turn into humor, because less pain, people pretend like everything is normal.
Country house is coming along nicely. Mice will be mice. Stay safe Vita and keep the videos coming.
Thank you!❤️
Vita Greetings, Dyakuyu,
Glorious very dear good friend.
So.good to see you after all these attacks, life must be a struggle, though.uou keep finding energies, tired or not,

Spring looks good, sounds good, soon it will be luxury to relax,
Take care please Vita, Stay safe please a beautiful gorgeous adorable adaptable woman of the new future,
Your dearest very good friend, Andrei, SLAVA UKRAINA, ✌️👍🤞💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️🌱💯✨️💙💛🌻🇺🇦
How to saw this Dyuakuyu, day before yesterday I saw Ukrainian women with child, when I told them spasibo they return back, and child hide behind them from me😢 I am sad because child was afraid of me😢
Thank you!♥️♥️♥️
Hi Vita, with all the struggles you are facing, you always seem to overcome them with your positive attitude. You exemplify your motto (Never Give Up) to the fullest! Take care and looking foward to your next video! SLAVA UNKRAINI !! ❤💙💛
Hi!🙂
Thank you!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I sometimes sprinkle pepper when I see evidence of mice/rats. It seems to help. Other smells they apparently don’t like are mint, cinnamon, garlic, onion, cayenne pepper, lavender, citrus. Maybe you could experiment with some of these, particularly around where you think they might be getting in to the house. Maybe you could grow some mint, lemon balm and/ or lavender around the outside of the house. Also fill any obvious gaps in the walls where they could be getting in. Keep persisting.
Thank you for sharing!♥️
Thanks
❤️❤️❤️Thank you!

@@ThinkUkraine I hope Brave Ukrainian Riche did okay being home with Pro R. Cat 🐈 could see 👀 how much he wanted to go with his mom💜
@seanfandetti3778 🙂🙂🙂 I’m still scared to take him with me, but my kids say that he’s missing me so much that next time Richie will become a village dog.🙈🙂
@@ThinkUkraineI think he is not for outside, he is pet, some wild animal might hurt him, or maybe other village dogs who also attack Vita
Love your t-shirt! 1000% strong, beautiful Ukrainian woman! Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava!🇺🇦🇨🇦
Thank you!🙂♥️

Try to find the traps that they run into and also they have some they stick to. Moth balls might also help. None of these are poison to the cat or dog.

Hi Vita! Spring time is such a beautiful time of year and its always nice to see what you are up to at the village villa. It is becoming a familiar place!
Slava Ukraini!
Thank you Erik!🙂♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Vita for sharing I am so happy to see that you are doing alright. I lived in a rural area filled with mice. The trap that worked for me I made mysrlf using 5 gallon buckets and caught a lot of mice. This trap is called a rolling log trap. I made my own using a soda can, sticks/pieces of wood for mice to walk up, coat hanger or bucket handle, and 5 gallon bucket. First one I built I caught over 70 mice in one day it was crazy. I also have had good luck with the metal lid and plastic lid bucket mouse traps bought off the internet or at farm stores. The sticky traps work I recommend looking at ones called Catchmaster multi - catch they worked for me. Pressing steel wool into places or cracks they can crawl into helps too. They also don't seem to like bright led lights either. The vinegar yes I use that it works too. The peppermint oil I mix up and spray outside. Scope or cheap peppermint mouth wash will also help repel them too. Stay away from eucalyptus and tea tree oil those are lethal to cats. Your cat would probably catch mice inside and scare them away too. Another trick for mice outside is a stand for falcons they catch lots of mice. Hopefully my mouse catching advice helps. Your gardening looks great too. Take care and stay safe.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Thank you!🙂❤️
I have more than thirty years dealing with mice in a log cabin in the bush or Northern Ontario. We are away from this cabin from October to May. When we re-enter in May there will be some rodent droppings. but much less than there used to be. In Canada we can buy rodent poison in block form and lockable plastic boxes called bait stations. Only something as small as a mouse can access the poison. Even squirrels cannot get at the poison. Apparently the poison is a bait that smells good to mice and many other animals so I suggest putting them around your house outside, not inside. I leave the bait stations outside with a cement block on top so larger animals won't take the bait station away. This has worked very well for me. When we are there in the summer we store the bait stations away and put a few snap-traps inside to get the occasional visitor. The newer plastic snap-traps mean you don't need to touch the mouse. If you can buy from that big mail-order business that starts with the letter 'A' then you will find these products. Good luck. Never give up!
Thank you for sharing!

Привіт, Привіт, Привіт Vita, nice to see you back. Despite all the missiles and sirens, you look as lovely as ever especially all the soil on you! 👩🏼🌾! You in camos are just wonderful. Lovely blue sky and green everywhere with birds chirping 🐦. Is the village affected by the power shortages. Regarding the mice..... don't cats love them?! The idea for an organic culture garden for you and your children sounds fantastic and very appealing. How about a BBQ in the summer?!, I'll bring some wine! This reminds me that there might be a solution for your garden. Arrange a garden(ing) party where all those attending tame your garden! Take care Vita, much love to you, your family and all our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. Allan. Slava Ukraini ✌️🇺🇦🫶
Hi Allan! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
You have always been Ukraines guardian angel through this war. If it was not for you and your family we would only be getting 2 sides of the story Ukraine and russias. Thank you for your courage you are far braver than I could be.
♥️♥️♥️ Thank you!
Hi Vita ,service stations in the uk are always expencive for food ,we getting potholes like that here on our roads as our councils spend the money on other things like themselves and stop repairing the roads and they put our taxes up every year saying they have no money but award themselves big pay rises ,take care stay safe ,love to you and your family💙💛
I am always asking myself from where Ukraine get petrol and gas? They have their own petrol and gas like Russia or they import them. Long time ago we didn't have gas because Russian gas transit Ukraine, they said Ukraine closed gas, but this was Russia, they said Ukraine stolen gas? I don't remember but obviously Russia lied and our rooms was cold.
Thank you!🙂❤️❤️❤️
Yes! Work with mother nature. Not against her, with all the disgusting chemicals! 😊
You are real plessed, Ukraine soil is so fertile, every thing will grow, Evan in the hands from a big City akademik Lady 😎😉👍💪😁🌈 enjoy strawberry 🍓 soon , may together with the kids , stay strong 🍀💪😎
🙂♥️♥️♥️ Thank you!
❤❤❤🌹❤️❤️❤️
Find a safe place and stay put if possible. Tomorrow might be better. That’s what I tell myself everyday and I’m not in your situation.
Thank you for sharing with us ❤
Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
The dynamic adaptivity and resilience you show in everything you do inspires so much confidence in your ability. As much as this is a necessity, it seems to be part of the Ukrainian spirit. This may not be the most beautiful farm today, but tomorrow? With you there I think it could be. Going at a project like this makes me proud of you as a human. You got this. Slava Ukraini.
Thank you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your neighbors will love the half of the cherries that will come on their side of that fence’
Beautiful Vita, always so positive, determined & hardworking! You plant trees & shrubs where you want!
This is your private village home & property!
Don’t you know any relatives that can help you? Are you fiercely independent?
Stay strong & Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💪💪

You are strong as a horse working in the garden. Maybe you become a real village woman after the war
Thank you!🙂
I watch you as a former dairy farmer I can't feel sorry for you working everyday...I have been to Ukraine many times trying to help farmers and the orphanages...I will gladly advise you to build raised beds in your garden for your berries and pulll the blooms off the first year and let them develop for the second season..your going to need a lot of staw mulch over them before winter..stay strong and keep working angel
Thank you so much!♥️♥️♥️
Your village house reminds me of where I grew up as a kid. I miss it. I miss the grass and the wind and the fresh and and all the brothers and sisters and kids and cousins.. Life in the countryside is nice.
🙂❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the update in your village Vita❤❤❤❤....I love u...Slava Ukrain❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!♥️♥️♥️💛💙
God love you!..
I can hear the frustration in your voice, You so need some help around your village house...
You're inspirational, amazing and a wonderful person. My heart goes out to you!! 😊
When we had mice in our house, i used mouse traps, with something called 'peanut butter', comes in a jar that we use to put on bread as a sandwich but mice can't resist it!
Worked like a treat, though removing the nearly decapitated mice is NOT for the squeamish!! 😂😂
Love your jacket by the way, suits you!!
Take care and thanks for sharing another video

Hello vita it's is wonderful to see spring ❤ has arrived in your village it is great to see you working in the urkraineian country thankyou for your lovely commentary ❤ salva urkraine ❤
🙂❤️ Thank you!
Oh! I love you!🥰

Thanks for the update. Your village is beautiful this time of year. You are going to have an incredible garden. Good luck with the mice. I tried poison here, but it didn't seem to work. Try to get rid of any dead mice before you bring your pets. Keep the worms, they are good for the garden. Hope your eye is OK. Stay strong, stay safe. Слава Україні!
Thank you!🙂♥️♥️♥️
GOD BLESS You and all the Righteous Ukrainians. You are the David in this War against the Invading Goliath. And we all know who won that fight.
Goliath won.
Thank you!🙏♥️
Thanks! You are doing a great job rejuvenating that property. Those artifacts you are digging up (museum worthy) must be 60 to 70 years old.
Thank you!🙂♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You are impressive. Keep going. Trial and error precede success
🙂 Thank you!♥️♥️♥️
Oh! How much I miss Kiev, specially the country side of Ukraine.
One of my kittens watched this with me with great interest, maybe getting mice tips 😂 You are doing everything right, rats and mice hate strong smells (peppermint), high pitch sound (solar repellents), loud noise (vacuum cleaners) and things being moved aroind. If you make sure they have no access to food or water they may relocate, especially when they sense Fedya and Richie. You are amazing, I feel I achieve so little in my day compared with you always working so hard and selflessly. So much respect to you. Ukraine is looking so beautiful in spring, may it also be peaceful before long. I wish you and your country strength and success, may your fruit trees grow strong and fruitful too. Greetings from the UK, from me and my cats. 😊
🙂 Thank you so much!♥️♥️♥️

Great video, super interesting, in short time it opened my eyes to a interesting world... thank you for what you teach, for how you teach and for how you show to react with a mix of smile face and strong like still will to win this life situation. Great job, great you, thank you, cheers from the blue beach sea of Sardinian Sea in Italy!
Thank you!♥️♥️♥️

like the cherry tree that was planted at the end, should look very nice one day when it is grown.
Thank you!♥️
Dear Vita, I also had a battle with village mice and I won with whole cloves. I placed the aromatic spice, whole cloves, in sachet bags, placed them around the home and bingo, the mice were gone. Slava Ukraine
Thank you so much!♥️♥️♥️
I will try your method next time!
I would move to countryside too if I were in your situation. Don’t be too ambitious on gardening, start with small projects. Little by little, you’ll build up skills and confidence. You may also want to spend the warm season to prepare the house to be livable and reasonably comfortable in the winter when there is no electricity or gas. There are a lot of vid on TH-cam showing how to build heating system off grid. Get your kids involved, these are useful skills and fun to learn. Enjoy spring.😊
♥️♥️♥️ Thank you!
😊 👌
Petrol here in New Zealand is 67.98 hrynia a liter ..seal all gaps to keep out mice use expanding spray foam
This reminds me of a Czech village I was in
I see you have a lot of mistletoe in Ukraine

Yes, lots of it.🥹

I'm paid $3.50 a gallon here in the U.S
looks like summer 😃
It feels like summer.🙂 But it’s abnormal warm weather will end tomorrow.😏
Just an idea…Trash the mice poison and employ “The Farm Cat”!
Maybe have a second cat live at the house and it will take care of the mice for you. Not sure how often you visit from Kyiv though…Beautiful garden!!!
With ❤ and Respect from the U.S.
Thank you!❤️

I am walking and looking container, this is best and most cheap, also no mouses. Better container than old house which need non stop to fix.
Hi, I don't know if I should tell you this but it mite make you laugh as I did. I was showing my son a part of one of your video's all heartfelt and empathetic. He took one look at you, ignored what ever I was saying and then he said ''She's a smash!'' lolol I said ''Finley! don't be rude'' But I couldn't keep a strait face at the same time.. We laughed and I had to agree with him. I'm guessing you know what he means by ''smash'' Anyway, it's nice to see how you're doing.. UK believes in you. Slava Ukraine!!
Thank you for sharing!🙂
It’s not easy to be “a smash” at my babushka’s age after sleepless nights 🙂
Greetings to the UK!🇬🇧♥️
@@ThinkUkraine Greeting's Ukraine, I do feel for Ukrainians and see a lot of what is happening there. From computer chair. It feels bad. I wish west would do more. I support Ukraine from the start in 2022. And continue to now. The west is so slow. I'm sorry for this. Slava Ukraine!❤

Just remember to pull out the garden night lights and put them indoors before you leave the dasha. (Or the neighbours will steal them again)
I will. Thank you!
I love listening to you and watching your videos.It's been over 4 years since I was in Kyiv and wish to be there again.I really would love to help you renovate your 'Safe'house and garden.
I think youi were crazy laying poison for the mice,why didn't you set traps as with poison they die under floor boards and it takes long time for the smell to subside better trap with the simple cheap spring traps.
Your a real Ukrainian lady always looking beautiful very feminine,I love your humour despite all you've been through.Take care and stay safe.Slava Ukraini
♥️♥️♥️ Thank you!
Vita if you have a mouse trap and a bag to put it in, then add a treat and leave on floor so mouse will go inside bag. The mouse trap will eliminate mouse and you just pick up bag and through away. That way you do leave poison in the house.

Hi Vita, I think if you had an Owl nesting box where the owls could live on your property all the mice would run away. All you need is some owls that work everyday, better than any poison. Before you know it the strawberries are out and smiling at you along with sunshine! 🐖🍝🍰🍹🌞🇺🇦🇺🇸 Slava Ukraini
Thank you!🙂❤️❤️❤️
But it seems it’s not easy to find an owl in a Ukrainian village. I saw one once in my life. At the Zoo. 😀
@@ThinkUkraine We are a bit past the besting time (January to March). But if you install a nest on a tree they may decide to come. The nest should have a branch (perch) in FRONT of the box (not on the sides) so they can land on it. The farm supplies store may sell them. Also, Amazon and Ebay have them on sale (about 40 dollars).
