Beap52 1,178 #5 Posted March 6 I googled Vamoose and of course Amazon has it for sale. Four pouches for about sixty dollars and is mainly consists of: "featuring a blend of natural ingredients like cinnamon oil, citronella oil, and thyme oil," I pertinere believe a fellow could put those ingredients in cake frosting! For me, hunting mice is about like chasing moles. I like traps--that way I know I got the little rascals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep... some guys run their horse exhaust in the ground to kill moles. Not for me I wanna see em dead. For an improper above ground burial. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,322 #9 Posted March 6 I bought 2 of those 5gal bucket toppers to catch/drown mice. Worked ok in the shed which is fairly tightly built. No good in the barn. Possums/wood chucks who know what else go after the bait and break it... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blasterdad 3,037 #10 Posted March 6 I've gone "Green". We have quite a few stray cats in the neighborhood & they like to hang out in my carport. I haven't caught any mice in the traps inside the garage all winter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
