I hate to hear that. I have a mouse problem in my chicken run. Was going to use Irish Spring.

I have a chicken coop inside one end of my shed. I stopped using poison for fear a poisoned mouse might get eaten by one of my chickens. The mouse traps are proving to be the most effective way to eliminate the mice that take up residence in my shed. I hate to have to kill them but they are very destructive.

I have not tried this - put some baking soda mixed with a little corn meal into a plastic container with a lid - put a hole so the mice can get in - they can not vomit - they bloat up & explode - I know it sounds awfully but your equipment is worth me...the corn meal is to grab their attention, the baking soda well you know
Also mice & spiders don't like peppermint oil

Thanks Connie.
That does sound gruesome.

I have found traditional mouse traps to be the most effective way to quickly kill the mice and stop them from wrecking havoc in my shed. In just 4 days I have caught 5 mice. I used to use poison but I can't risk any of the poisoned mice getting into my chicken coop and then being eaten by the chickens. I can quickly remove any dead mice.

If I used poison the mice could crawl away and hide in a spot to die a slow death. If I could not find them the shed would begin to stink of rotting mice. Yuck.

Thought I would find some more ideas:

Tabasco Sauce, Cayenne Pepper, Baking soda, Colgate toothpaste,

and found this...
