I've heard that mentioned but have not tried it. I can see (smell) why it would work. I wonder why its not more popular on retail shelves available as a deterrent. Do you know where it can be purchases as a pest deterrent?
The biggest problem with not getting them quickly is that they are looking for a spot to make a nest. Once a nest is in place a female can produce a ton of offspring every 3 weeks. If you trap mom after she’s already had babies, then you have to worry about the babies dying in the nest and smelling, or worse surviving and starting the infestation all over again. I had a few come into my fifth wheel through the slide-out rails that I trapped with glue boards, but one survived and now I can’t get rid of it. I have a trail camera in the basement of the trailer and this last mouse avoids ALL of the traps and bait like it saw his buddy get trapped and now he’s not going to fall for it. I’m parked for the season so I pulled my slides in which I think has trapped the mouse inside, but it’s been over a week and this thing is driving me crazy. It just walks all the way around two snap traps, three glue boards and one electronic zapper trap and it keeps going. I’m using peanut butter, goldfish crackers and caps full of RV antifreeze as baits. It’s either going to starve to death to eventually take the bait. I’ve also sprayed peppermint spray everywhere I think it could be hiding to try to flush it out, but it doesn’t seem to care.
Damn.....Good Luck! We had a similar pattern of infestation in a pool house when we had the sticks and bricks. For weeks I was snap trapping 3-5 a couple of times a week. May be time to get a cat! ;)
@@okletsgorvI thought about borrowing my neighbors cat, but the mouse would probably just kill the cat and flip me the bird on camera, laughing the whole time. It’s become a quest at this point…that I hope I come out on top.
poison is never a good idea. mice or other animal will eat and a dog, cat, owl or something else could eat the dead mice or rat. I guess you can call that a toofer but that's not good. no poison!
I use course steek all in all of holes for pluming and wiring
Great Thank you
Rodents are usually repelled well with peppermint oil.

100% Agree....some of the poisons say that they are animal safe. I'm calling BS on that for sure.
