Re: Mice in the birds room
Posted by Laura on 12/08/09

Thanks Wayne,

This is definatetly more along the lines of what I am looking for. We
live in an 1858 farm house and along with ALOT of steel wool, we also
had the foundation of the house retucked as well. The birds have
their own lovely room, our cats are very rarely allowed in there so
this is the only room with mice issues. I guess the little rodents
are actually pretty smart after all! The issue has been about 98%
resolved and indeed, the steel wool blocks are what worked.

Thanks for your advice and consideration,

Laura
