Mice in the house

Visitor's picture

Help! I'm overrun with mice and they have been devastating the indoor plants and seed pots under lights in my basement. At least I no longer hear them scurrying around in the overhead dropped basement ceiling when I sit at the computer to write about it since I started to put out poison - the one that is supposed to dry them up - from the hardware store and every morning they have completely eaten the bowl of it I put out every day. One day I'll probably find a pile of their bones in a burial ground here?? They seem to be night feeders and there must be an awful lot of them. This morning I find the leaves of some of the bulbs have been bitten off as well - so they seem to be omnivorous. Wonder if a blast of Safer's Soap would stop that? Between the devastations of the rabbits and squirrels outside and the mice inside, it's getting harder and harder to grow anything at all. Fran
