I have a shed that the mice have decided to use as their restroom (renters
left the door open, using it as a dog house and left the dog food in there
also). I did a thorough cleaning with hospital grade disinfectant and
have
sprayed lemon scented bleach over the area, but they are still returning.
Any ideas on how to get them to stop using the shed? Thanks.

Mice are pretty well creatures of habit and they also tend to **** where
they eat - so getting rid of any food comes to mind, but also breaking their
habit will have to happen. Get a trap and you'll get mouse after mouse
after mouse until they stop going there. Use peanut butter on the trap -
mice like that more than cheese. Actually, with mice you don't even need
bait, they are so habitual creatures that they'll run right over the trap so
long as its in their path.
