They stay out of my food and I won't put out poison. I have found that the best way to encourage mice to live somewhere else with out poison or traps is jalapeno juice...habanero is the best. Get the 5 gal. jug of peppers and pour out half of the juice in it. fill it back up with vinegar. Sit it in a sunny place to "cook" for a while, opening it every 3 days to refresh the air in it. One day you will open it and your eyes will water and burn.....it is ready. Place some in a sprat bottle and spray in corners and along the base boards. You won't have a mouse for very long. It burns their feet and eyes and if you make sure they can't get to water, they are out of there....fast. It's s good substitute for poison.
