I had been slacking off on baiting the snap traps over the winter. Then the mice got into the two cars parked outside and it set me into action.
In my 2 room basement with adjoining garage, all under the first floor, I started putting peanut butter on the traps and managed to catch about 12 mice over the past month.
This week I bought some of the peppermint spray and sprayed some around the likely infiltration route from the crawl space and around some of the other areas.
To protect my new Tesla in the garage I sprayed a lot of peppermint spray on the floor around the car and in the two trunks. I also bought some of the pouches of peppermint and cinnamon granules and put them in the trunks and three or four around the garage.
Since then I have not caught any mice.
I am wondering what this means.
Have the mice decided to leave the house in search of a nicer location?
Or have I simply kept them from coming out near the traps?
