[earwigmc]

hmm, i'm wondering if it's safe/prudent to put stuff back in the kitchen drawers where the mouse has been. nothing has been nibbled on while i've been away... and maybe the mouse is gone... but i don't feel completley sure... but i'd like to clear the surfaces in the kitchen agian (and i forget to eat the food while it's in a box on the surface,

I washed our mouse-y shelves with peppermint oil once and they stayed away for a while. If you can stand peppermint, it might do the trick.

It was actually peppermint Dr. Bronner's, if I recall correctly. Do you get Dr. Bronner's over there?

o! peppermint, yes, that's an idea. we used lemon when mymouse and i washed the drawers out (at the end of the summmer?). didn't htink of peppermint. will have a think about whether i can coexist with that comfortably.

i'm not sure about dr. bronner's - not familiar wiht it, but that doesnt' mean it isn't here...

This post made me chuckle..I imagine a cheeky mouse waiting patiently somewhere..hiding until you put the food back..check out my journal..post just for you..x

=chuckles= the pic is great, thanks =grin=

yes, i have the same image - mouse in waiting...

i think i'm going ot chance it (tho i'm a bit worried it'll eat the biscuits i have)... and/or maybe pursue monster-grrrl's peppermint suggestion...

I think the peppermint sounds quite good and it's such a lovely fresh smell too..you could always check to see if the mouse is still around by putting a small piece of chocolate in the drawer..they love chocolate..if it's gone in the a.m..you still have a mouse!..good luck with it though..when my eldest daughter was a baby I lived in a horrible flat infested with mice..caused me no end of trouble and my baby ended up getting a very serious tummy illness despite my never ending attempts to keep everything spotless and clean..it is a serious thing all joking aside..keep us posted..x
