Smell from Mice- YUUUKKKKKK?

Question

HELP! I discovered I have a family of mice living under my kitchen cabinets. My kitchen wall backs with the garage wall and there are 2 holes that have the electrical wire, etc. going through them. Never had a problem before! Any I have caught 4 of those buggers and released them up the road. But OMG the smell under my sink is HORRID! How can I get rid of it? I was planning on using bleach and pinesol. And hubby is sealing those holes up! Ugghhh HELP!

TYIA!

Answer 1

To rid your home of mice use Dehydrated Potato Flakes pour some on a flat container and put fresh water in another container separately from the potato but near to the potato container locate this under the home or where the mice have made a home, do not leave where there is pets as the pets will eat the mixture and have digestive problems, this is also what the potato does for the mouse but has dire consequences for mice, they will eat it and run out of your home to die away from the home, what the potato does is swell in their tummies and cause them to have indigestion and they explode

To rid the smell of Mice leave out bowls of White Vinegar, fill the bowls to the near tops then leave out overnight in your cupboards, this will deodorize the scent Note: White Vinegar will leave a scent at first for about five to ten minutes after removal of bowls,then dissipate when removed air out cupboards under sink area for a few hours then close back up Repeat procedure if necessary Good Luck !

Answer 3

IF the vinegar and baking soda ideas don't work - you might go to the local pet store and get something called "Nature's Miracle".  It's meant to get pet stains out of floors, furniture, etc...  

I don't know if the peppermint oil idea would work or not, but I would hold off on that until after trying the Nature's Miracle because the oil could create a barrier that would prohibit any cleaner from getting to the actual stuff that's causing the odor. Although I have to say that I bet it would smell good and it would be something to use once you think you have the mouse-odor out!

Answer 4

Go to your local health food store, or even find it on line if you

have to, and buy a bottle of peppermint oil. Then wash every

part of your cabinets from the bottom to the top with the oil.

Not only will it smell good. it will deter any other mice from

entering, if you do not get the holes closed up right away, or

if there may be another way in that you may not know of.

They are allergic to it, I've read, but I know they do hate it.

But, they also hate bleach. All in all, good luck!

Answer 7

Vinegar and baking soda are two good things for getting rid of odors.  First wipe the area down with vinegar(just regular distilled white vinegar) then you can put a box of baking soda like the kind you put in the fridge, the ones with the sides that tear off and have a white paper thing to keep it in the box. Am I explaining this right, sorry? If that doesn't work you can try a product called Odorzout- this is a great, dry 100% natural deodorizer. It's nontoxic(as are the other above mentioned items) so you can use it anyplace you have a smell or stink.
