Mouse In Your House?

Got a mouse you'd like to get rid of, but don't want to set a spring trap or one with goo? Today you'll learn that the sweet smell of success is just that...a pungent smell is what mice hate! From deep within the Carey Brothers vault, here's how to kick mice out of any room. Indeed, it says here that when pesky rodents are buggin? you, you can send 'em packing every time with any number of strong odors. Seems Mickey and his friends don't like strong smells! Some of our favorites that we spread around pipes, doors, and openings where mice might enter are cloves, mothballs, cheap drugstore cologne, and even Vicks Vaporub. Another good item for fending off squirrels is a glob of shaving cream where they like to play. When pesky rodents come looking to stay, a whiff, a sniff or a spritz sends 'em away!
