Give A Tip Tuesday!

I know know about where you live, but we are now in advanced fall here in the midwest. That means whatever is OUTSIDE, wishes to get INSIDE. Animals and mice and YUCK!

So here are a few tips for preventing mice from living in your garage:

For Mouse Control:

Place USED kitty litter from a litter box in small tubs in several places around the garage. Mice think... "it smells like a cat--must be a cat - I'm outta here!".


Buy a mesh/net laundry bag that you would use for washing nylons and 5 boxes of moth balls. Put the moth balls in the bag and hang it in your garage near the door to get rid of mice, birds, and bugs.


To prevent mice from gaining entry to your garage, stop up any openings with steel wood pads. Mice will not chew through these!


Sprinkle ground cayenne pepper around the garage (inside & out), and especially near entry holes. Pests don't care for the smell of it.


Mice hate the scent of peppermint extract. Simply sprinkle *pure* peppermint extract on the items in your garage you don't want the mice in or on.
