Cannot do that here. My wife has cats, inside and outside and she feeds them well so none of them are mousers and I'd be living in thr shop if anything happened to any of them. I don't like cats as a rule anyway but they came with the marriage. issue with cats (for me) is all the paw prints on my tractor (and vehicle hoods) and the cat poop in bad places. Nothing worse than can poop on the bottom of your shoes.I had a lot of trouble in the past with rodent damage. Finally said enough is enough and adopted a couple of cats. Got 1 in each barn. The mice are gone. The neighbors mail cat comes in and sprays a bit. That really helps deter any new critters from entering the place and I keep my tractor in the barn. As for the dryer sheets... take them to the next level with a few drops of eucalyptus oil applied each month. Mice can't forage or mate when overpowering scents like dryer sheets and oil are present.
