Frugal Friday - Goodbye Mr Mouse

One of the easiest and friendliest ways to get rid of mice is to get "mouse oil" or simply buy pure essential peppermint and spearmint oils and mix them together. Put this on cotton balls and place them wherever the mice usually frequent. They'll leave in a hurry. They absolutely hate the smell, and no one gets hurt, including pets.

I have never heard of this, but I love it! I might even try it in my garage. Now it will smell like a spa at Christmas....I'm just sure of it!

Wow, I hope it works!

Much better than cleaning up a little limp furry body in the morning.

~I still can't bring myself to move the fridge & wash the mouse blood off the floor there.

I know, TMI, sorry!

What a great tip. So much better than poisons!

Thanks for your kind words. I hope I can cope as well as you do when the next one comes along.

That is a great tip, my inlaws seem to have a mouse problem, she went out to get a kitten a few weeks ago(picture on my blog) which hopefully will be a good mouser! I will tell her about this!
