Got mice?

October

If you do, a family of barn owls would be happy to stop by for a snack. According to the Audubon Society, researchers found that a family of barn owls (mom, dad and six kids) “ate 1,000 mice, shrews and rats during a three month period.”

Such are the Halloween-related facts and fun on the society’s “Tricks and Treats for a Green Halloween.” page. Tidbits about spiders, owls and bats are available there, along with tips for a more environmentally friendly Halloween.

Carry reusable candy bags such as pillow cases or canvas bags that you and your kids can decorate and use again next year. They are more sturdy than plastic bags too.

If you actually do have mouse problems, here’s a page of tips on getting rid of the critters.

One Response to “Got mice?”

And dont forget, if you have mice, you don’t have Rats. so if you see a mouse and have to lay traps. It’s better than not seeing a mouse and having to deal with the alternative. because its easier to get rid of mice than rats.
what works best for me is peanut butter in the trap and face it along the wall, that’s where they run.
