Mouse Tips

Things I've heard about repelling/trapping feral mice - not all proven, but I've received many tips

1 - mint is a natural repellent - grow it around your property, sprinkle it about inside
2 - hedge apples are supposedly a natural repellent (being an Easterner - I was like, "what the bloody hell are those?" I now know.
3 - place a length of string to, thru, and past a trap - mice use it for bedding, chew it, follow it along and bam!
4 - mice like gum drops, peanut butter, peanuts and peanut butter "Mary Jane" candies.
5 - The mice in my apartment do not like peanut butter.
6 - stuff steel wool into mouse holes - they won't chew thru it
7 - mice can become accustomed to loud noise, so constantly bellowing "No Mouse!" will work for only a little while.
8 - "They're more afraid of you than you are of them" - No. No they're not.
