Re: [DIY] Mice and voles

 

We have an 8" vent pipe into our utility room and beside the 1/4" wire on the outside we attached a piece of screen across the pipe on the inside and nothing has gotten in so far!

Mice - living out in the wilds we get them around all the time.  I use a 5 gal bucket with 3" of water in the bottom and smear some peanut butter halfway between the water and the top of the bucket.  Then taped an old sock or rag to the bucket so the mice will climb up to seek either the water or peanut butter.  Catch two or three a week in the summer.  No fuss - just dump the bodies out in the ravine and let nature take its course.  Rinse and refill the bucket.   Now if you live in an area that is wet all the time this may not work as well.
