Mouse Control - Tip Of The Day

For Mouse Control:

Place USED kitty litter from a litter box in small tubs in several places around the garage. Mice think... "it smells like a cat--must be a cat - I'm outta here!".

Buy a mesh/net laundry bag that you would use for washing nylons and 5 boxes of moth balls. Put the moth balls in the bag and hang it in your garage near the door to get rid of mice, birds, and bugs.

To prevent mice from gaining entry to your garage, stop up any openings with steel wood pads. Mice will not chew through these!

Sprinkle ground cayenne pepper around the garage (inside & out), and especially near entry holes. Pests don't care for the smell of it.

Mice hate the scent of peppermint extract. Simply sprinkle *pure* peppermint extract on the items in your garage you don't want the mice in or on.

Kitchen Cartoons

Remimber Back When

Remember "TV Lamps"? I sold dozens of those suckers back in the mid-fifties in Sarasota, but they were the kitschy seashell kind for tourists. There's beautiful examples out there - take a look at Mark Stevens' TV Lamp Site. And many a meal was eaten on TV Trays, sometimes Swanson's TV Dinners, while watching Ed Sullivan, I Love Lucy, Sid Caesar (you recall those too?), and more by the reflected glow of those little lights.
