Reply #6: mice in car

[trud]

I had mice set up housekeeping in a car that sits in my garage. I read that peppermint oil repels them, so after having major cleanup done on the car (including removing seat stuffing, shampooing the carpet, etc.) I saturated pieces of cotton with it and left them in several places (front seat, back seat, trunk). So far so good. I put the cotton in open old pill bottles so as not to stain stuff.
