    i have a mouse in my walls...It wont go to any of the traps....I dont want to poison myself with moth balls or ammonia...What about tear gas or pepper spray...pepper spray is non-toxic...

    fine ground cayenne pepper ...

    they dont like it and it doesnt hurt anything or anyone as long as your not rubbing into your eyes

    trap is best though...you need to put it near their food source...they have to be getting into your food because they dont eat whatever is in your wall..plus with a trap they wont die in your wall and stink up the place

    I removed the food, I dont hear them eating food any more so I think they just are territorial and think it's their territory.

    Do I have to put the cayenne pepper as a mist?


    I heard those noise things don't do anything. Have they worked for you before?

    I lived on the opposite side of the road from a wheat field, we had real problems with field mice..They really worked! Years of mice eating through the walls, the Christmas decorations! Anything in the loft! Stopped within hours.
    Yes they worked :)

    no ..just sprinkle it around

    its not too good for pets though

    fine grind is best ...i use it in the yard for bears ..seems to work until we get a wet day

    Then get a mongoose to fix the snake problem. A cat to fix the mongoose problem and a dog to fix the cat problem and then you have a dog. :)

    i don't think they make little (tear gas) canisters small enough for mice to hold in their little forepaws.

    I've been hearing them scurry around my attic lately. Also found a dead one in my basement. I live in a rural area at the moment so I'm not surprised that they are running around here, looking for a place to warm up and eat. I like to buy some trap and release boxes--put some food in the boxes, and the mice become trapped, and then you bring them outside (far from your house) and let them go. A win win :).

    You don't bait mice with food on traps, honestly the best mice trap is to put peanut butter on the trigger, they need to lick it a lot harder and SNAP! Next morning you got yourself a dead mouse. :)

    Now it's getting the mouse out of the trap that's yucky so I just throw the whole thing away. :D

    I don't have mice problem but they are attracted to our rabbit hay and food and we have had one in the house before. We just chased it away though.
