Humane Traps: These traps are readily available at local supermarkets and come with user-friendly instructions. Typically, they are cage-like devices that trap the mice without harming them. To set one up, simply open the main entrance, place bait at the bottom, and position the trap in an area frequently visited by mice.
Essential Oils: Mice possess a keen sense of smell, which makes them particularly sensitive to certain scents. Utilizing essential oils can be an effective deterrent. Soak a few cotton balls with around 30 drops of essential oil each and place them in areas where mice enter or exit. It’s advisable to replace the cotton balls every one to two weeks to maintain their effectiveness.
