When I had my dog-trainer friend over the other week, she brought two toys for my Great Danes to try out - both are hollow rubber toys that you fill with peanut butter or kibble (we used soy-nut butter & kibble), and the dog spends ages trying to get the food out. Well, I had a bit to drink and completely forgot that these toys had been left in the family room, in the dog's 'toy box'. Now my house has been invaded by mice...they certainly were not there before these toys arrived, and I can only think that the smell of the soy-nut butter attracted them into the house, as we always feed the dogs in the garage and don't leave food lying around. I have now spent the last 2 days deep cleaning everything and setting electronic zapper traps.... I have heard that mice are repelled by the smell of peppermint, so I've soaked some cotton balls in peppermint oil and put them in my kitchen cupboards and behind the sofas - does anyone have any other ideas on how to keep the mice away?
....needless to say, the dog toys are now confined to the garage & garden LOL!
