Anyone know of a better way other than a rat snake or a cat? - Mike

I know of no scientific evidence to support this but it's widely
believed that laundry dryer softener sheets drive mice away. If it
works, it's probably the awful perfume they put in those things.

The poisoned peanut butter works as they get very thirsty and to
looking for water before they die which usually gets them out of the
airplane. The downside is the dead mice are poisonous to any animal
that eats them.

Ha! The story I heard recently about Bounce! is that it keeps mosquitos
away. Popular on golf courses it said. I have no idea if there is any
truth in it. Perhaps a really, really ingenious marketing guy?

You should send a note to mythbusters and ask them to prove it
true or false.

Since they can't shoot a piece of bounce or make it explode they will
probably turn idea down as being too tame for their target audience.

Sounds like a plan to me. And putting your arm in a cabinet full of
hungry mozzies qualifies as Macho Enough, at least in my book!
