We have become believers in the Peppermint Essential Oil (from the health food store) on cotten balls trick. We tried the dryer sheets with no luck but since we have used the Peppermint oil we have not had any intruders. We use a couple of drops on cotten balls in a zip lock bags with small holes cut in them. Since it is a strong smell of peppermint we only use it while the Monty is in storage for the winter and it seems to work well. Ulike peppermint candy the mice seem to be repelled by the oil smell.
