Last spring, I found that the little buggers had nested in a cabinet where we keep pots & pans -- and lots of droppings under the sink. Never saw that before. This year, nothing, and none of the baits touched, either (as is the case most years). And not much of a nest inside the BBQ in the garage, either. Just a few spent acorns.

A few years ago I went under the cottage and sealed all openings with foam and made sure all doors were weather tight. Have not had a mouse (knocking on my wooden desk). We started out with moth balls, went to moth balls and cloves and now to dryer sheets and cloves - still no mice. As added insurance, I close all interior doors tight and make sure the bottoms are sealed - in case a mouse gets in they don't have the run of the place. All of the food we leave is in sealed plastic (Tupperware) containers. All this has worked so far.
