Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Anyone know of something to use as a mouse repellant to keep them from coming in the apartment? we have gaps around our heating pipes, so i think that's where they're coming in.......on the other hand, the cats always catch them. 7 down so far. We don't want to tell the landlord b/c of extermination and the chemicals. We don't care if the building has mice, we just don't want our cats to catch tapeworm. one of mine had it when i found her as a stray. thanks! angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Peppermint is supposed to repel mice. One year I had mice so bad they were chewing on my hand made soaps, especially the ones with oatmeal in them. I put peppermint leaves around the bottom of the curing rack and a bar or two of peppermint soap on each shelf. That took care of the problem. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 It's not herbal, but the varying frequencies of the plug-in pest repellers are supposed to work on mice (along with other things), yet be safe for pets!

Keeps them from getting in. My aunt swears by this. Of course, it only works when you can get to their entrance... xoxoxoxoxo Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 Mine say safe for cats, dogs, fish, birds; it doesn't say if that list is all inclusive! But you could call the company at 1-888-353-6835. In Health, Steve ----------------------------- Does anyone know if the plug in pest repellers will get rid of mice, but not hurt pet rabbits? We have 2 dwarf rabbits and a few unwanted animals (mice) in our house as well. I love animals but the mice need to be outside.
