Yesterday, I found a dead mouse at the base of my tree in the back yard. Today I found two more dead ones in the same general area. Now I know for some, three mice outside are no big deal (DH said "so what, they're outside") but I hate the nasty little vermin and I want them gone. I don't know what is attracting them because the dog waste is picked up, the trash is covered, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas for a natural, non-poison substance I can put outside to either kill them or drive them away? The dog is in the back yard and she'll eat anything (although she didn't eat the mice which surprised me) so it has to be safe for dogs. Any suggestions? This is the first time we've had rodents and I just want the creepy little buggers to go away!
