I am a big proponent of "alternative" pest control methods like spraying peppermint around the perimeter of the home...the smell actually repels rodents and could give your efforts of keeping rodents outside your home an extra boost. Moth balls also have the same effect. Either way, do whatever you can to prevent them from entering...they are a pain! http://www.pestexterminator.com has alot of tips for getting rid of rodents naturally, too. View Comment
