In The World Of Home

Simply asking them to leave falls on deaf (albeit large) ears, setting traps provides them with something to outsmart (and is too cruel for some people), using poison forces you to chance that your pet will find the deceased mouse, eat it, and unknowingly consume the poison as well, and, of course, laying out eviction notices only results in the echo of quiet, yet condescending, mouse laughter.. Saturating cotton balls with peppermint extract or laying mint leaves near the areas where mice invade will help keep them from coming in. The flip side, however, is that ammonia and mothballs also produce a scent that people want to stay away from.” But, of course, this isn’t always an option.

Use Fox Urine: A predator to mice, the scent of a fox quickly deters mice from making themselves at home; if they believe a fox is on the premises, they will stay away. If this happens, take care of your “cat problem” by getting a dog. Though there may be no repellent for some of these guests, mice can usually be controlled. Some people may be allergic to cats, others may just not like them. Some people also swear that the smell of onions, or even planting onions in a backyard garden, is enough to help keep mice away: their odor will make them peel out. For all these reasons, the plan to rid mice from your home needs some tweaking, tweaking you just might find in a natural home remedy. Ammonia and mothballs, for instance, both produce a scent that mice want to stay away from. Simply spraying the mouse infested areas of your house - or the areas where they enter - with fox urine will give the mice cause to move out quickly or stay away altogether.
