I’m more scared of having poison spread around the house than mice.

Our whole neighborhood had a mouse problem two years ago. At our house, mice got into the air conditioning ducts of my car twice and died there. Because of their location, we couldn’t get them out ourselves, so we had to pay the people at the dealership to do it. Big bills.

To keep mice out of the garage after that, my husband spread poison around. But then one day we forgot to close the garage door for a few hours. During that time, some creature dragged some of the poison out into our driveway. For a week, we were afraid we had poisoned the neighbor’s cat. Turned out we didn’t, but some poor creature probably died.

The real solution was to find what was attracting the mice. It turned out to be a forgotten half-full bag of grass seed in the back of the garage. Once it was gone, so were the mice.
