The Offensive Side- How to Keep Mice Out
So, now that you’ve sealed your buildings and protected their contents, it’s time to plan a good offensive strategy in case a mouse or a few mice get past your efforts.
Natural Repellents
Natural repellents are one of the safest ways to keep mice out of interior spaces. The best part is that there is no need to be concerned about scary or toxic chemicals, especially if you have small children or pets around!
Peppermint and cinnamon oils are at the top of the list of natural repellents. Both scents are highly repulsive to mice and other rodents. The scent keeps mice away by spraying them in mouse-infested areas. Dryer sheets have also been successful in this regard.
There is a natural repellent on the market called Grandpa Gus’s Extra Strength Mouse Repellent that we love. The repellent packets are made with high concentrations of cinnamon and peppermint oils, and they really work!
They can be extremely useful when you are storing something outside and have no way of keeping mice out of it.
