get a cat!

we live in the sticks and used to get mice here a fair bit (and their bigger cousins! yukko!!) - we have cats now, and even though we haven't seen one that has been caught by the cats in ages (i had to knock one on the head probably 3 months back cos the cat had played with it for ages), we just don't see them very often at all

if you have gaps, the steelwool is best to fill it as they won't chew through it

maybe try those mouse repelling plug in things - don't know that they work, but some of my family think they do


i think having other animals makes them less likely to come in - they are scared away to a degree by the noise. our cats go clean out the sheds fairly often for us which helps...
