Mothballs in your basement will do the trick.

Mice hate them!

Hi Hatti,

Sorry that it took me a couple of days to get back to you.

I can't do the cats because it just doesn't seem humane to me. If the cats did their jobs invisibly, O.K. But, I have horrible visions of stumbling across little pieces of "mice pelts.' Plus, I don't understand cats.

Mothballs? How? How many? Open the package and strew them out like confetti? I don't understand mothballs either. Maybe John Travolta and the introduction of polyester liesure suits is the reason for my ignorance.

Dogs??? Ours love to sink their teeth into fat little mice pelts :)
