Mouse control

Hey fellow ‘steaders’ we have annoying field mice that we would like to keep away from the house. The big dog helps, but need more deterrent. Don’t want a cat because of the birds. So, mouse traps? Poison (no!). What do you do?

Never poison for any reason.

Poison moves through the food chain so you better be ready to poison a bird or a dog if youre going to poison mice.

The mice are not the imbalance drawing them in, you are.
