We have a mouse in our pits who has made a hole in the back towards the left/center. Fuzz all over...Tried to stop it by taping the hole and the next time we opened them the tape was removed and more fuzz. anyone have ideas for stopping this. I read previous topics about moth balls. Thanks. I feel like Bill Murray in Caddyshack.

lol i have a friend who might be able to help you out, she's not particularly fond of vermin and the likes....

well, if you want to go about this in a humane way, you could try to catch it and make it the mascot or something, but if humane treatment is not a concern, maybe mouse traps?

Actaully there is a simple solution. Go into ur spice cabinate, and take a couple of spices to school. Put one spice a day in the hole and see if the critter comes back (This also works with dogs/cats on furniture) if the sucker keeps coming back, just keep adding another one, preferably a chilli powder or even cinnamon. If this seems odd...it is, but it does work.

They don't like moth balls either. Just stuff a bunch of moth balls in the hole and tape over it. later Mike
