Mice and Irish spring soap

Just another pic to dissuade anyone from relying on soap to keep mice away…

It doesn’t work in upstate NY.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" applies to mice, too.

I tried that years ago. Doesn't work in South Texas either.

Or in Central Florida!

Never tried soap, but dryer sheets don't work very well either. One time found a nest made from shreds of them.

Traps are the answer. So far this year, my kill is around 50 mice.

I had the same thing happen, mice seemed to love the soap bar.
Bucket trap was the fix.

Cats work well, too. They kill some and dissuade others.

Mothballs.

Did you ever try to snip the balls of moths?
