Guest guest Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Peppermint. I put peppermint or peppermint blend teabags where I see evidence of them, and they go away.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 So, I live with my husband in an apartment in the upper floor of a very old two family house and our friend lives downstairs. During the summer, our landlord was doing some work on the basement, and we all started seeing mice. All of us cleaned out our cabinets and we (in my apartment) wiped down all the cabinets with peppermint. We didn't see any mice for a while up here, but my friend did. So, I thought the peppermint was working. Then, the mice started making appearances up here again, but only occasionally, late at night. My husband blocked up the hole we thought they were coming from, and again they were gone for a while. I saw one again a few days ago, right around when the mouse conversation was going on in here, so it motivated me to make some peppermint tea bags. I have big bags (bath style) and filled them with peppermint leaves and added some peppermint essential oil. I made three for my apartment and three for my friend. Last night I put them in the three places that I've seen the mouse running to or from. The peppermint is strong enough that the half of my apartment (kitchen and living room) that I've seen the mouse in smells deliciously minty. Last night, a couple hours after I put the tea bags out, I saw a mouse not once, not twice, but five times! Usually I see one once, yell at it, it get's freaked out, and don't see it again for days. But five times in one night, whoa! What do you all make of that?? I can only think of two options.. either he (they) love the peppermint or he got so freaked out by it, he just ran around my living room a bunch of times looking to escape through a non-minty hole.
