Every year about this time, and other times in between, our shelter becomes a mouse resort. Although we keep all food in tight metal containers, and we clean daily, every mouse in the county knows that we have open food bowls and a warm place to spend the winter. I have even seen a mouse drinking from a water bottle while the resident ferret slept close by. We have two delighted cats who are good mousers but they can only catch so many. We would like a humane way to deal with these "guests", including in areas that are not accessible to the ferrets. Suggestions?
