Autumn is the most popular time for mice to try and find someplace warm to hang out and if they can get into your house or cottage they will!
They are super sneaky and can fit through the tiniest of cracks. So the best defense is to take offense and stop them at the door!
Here are 3 Ways to Put Mice Off or Get Rid of the Ones That Have Moved In
Dryer Sheets - This one has worked well for me, especially if it is the cottage or some rooms you are not always in.
Place unused dryer sheets on the beds, in the closets and in the basement. Leave them there for a couple of weeks, then replace them. The bonus? Your house will smell nice. Mice cannot stand the smell.
Peppermint Oil - Mice cannot stand the smell of peppermint oil. If you have an idea where they might be coming in, place some peppermint oil on some cotton face swabs and leave there. This also works for cars that you may be covering and storing for the winter. Mice can do a lot of damage to upholstery.
Using an Ultrasonic Pest Controller - Apparently, mice cannot stand the frequency and it puts them off moving into your home at all.
You can get these online with Amazon as you see above. Perfect if you are hearing them in the walls and need to get rid of many mice.
