| Does any of you have any suggestions for getting rid of mice in the greenhouse. I have already killed 4 but there is still at least one continuing to cause damage week after week. I have tried:
- Humanitarian traps baited with peanut butter on crackers - zero results
Any suggestions? It is not wise to put a cat in the greenhouse. Another friend want suggestions for dealing with frogs in his hydroponic greenhouse. Any syuggestions would be greatly appreciated. He is growing edibles so the problem is serious. |

| Boy can I relate. The only way I've been able to control them is to find their nest and destory it.So far I'm lucky this year and have found no mice. Maybe they got the hint. PP |

| I am wondering why it is not wise to put a cat in the greenhouse. Every greenhouse I know has cats. We have 3 or 4, depending on the appetites of the local owls and fischers, but never any mice. |

| Don, I am growing edibles in open perlite beds so introducing cats is not a great idea. There is the health and hygiene issue (think "dig-dig") and then there's the damage caused by a cat chasing a mouse across the growing bed. |

| Don, I actually have a cat climb up the out side of our largest g/h. poking lots of wholes on the way. I was not a happy camper. Adriana, |

| one part to manage mice, make sure they arnt easily coming from the outdoors. keep the area around ur houses short and clean. dont let an oldfield give u endless supply. make sure there are no openings, that expanding foam stuff is good for closing mini areas. i would think the same would go with my bretherin, the frogs, tho ull find me in the greenhouse alot. sometimes u cant get me out either. froggy (the hydroponic less frog) |
