Our 100 year old house had a very stable mice community when we moved
in. I tried all kinds of things to eliminate those beady eyed, whisker
twitching varmints. I also have allergies, so looked into natural type
repellents. I found out mice (and fleas) don't like peppermint. At
first, I got essential peppermint oil and sprayed where I knew they
traveled and hid. IT WORKED!! and made the house smell nice. very
invigorating. Then I bought cheap peppermint candy in the cellophane (I
Left cellophane on) and threw it around, behind furniture, behind
refridgerator and stove (very important places (BUT that's another
story) Haven't seen a mouse since.
