Probably but mice LOVE corn too. As do rats and assorted other unpleasant things. Yep, store it in a plastic container. Sealed tupperware sounds good to me. :lol: You can also use regular rice---white but not the minute kind, the real stuff.

I'm with you, Gale. Mice totally freak me out, make me a lot crazy. We had a little colony move in recently and every day I had my dh put out more traps and seal all entrances to the house. We have steel wool now in every little hole...

I don't know if it's true or not but grandma used to say that girl mice would always go back to their birth area to have their own children. She said that's why it important to get rid of them before they give birth.

When in Colorado, we lived on Cheyenne Mountain beside the old ski slope in Colorado Springs. We invaded the territory of mountain lions, bears, wild turkey, and many mice. I would catch mice in our house on a regular basis and had heard that if you let them go within a mile of where they were caught, they would come back - thus the long rides for them. I don't like mice either - they jump! - but I didn't want to kill them either.
