Get Rid of Mice with ExlaxWe owned and operated a seasonal fishing camp/resort out in the bush. Our cabins, lodge and washroom facilities were basic & simple. It was a summer business. In the fall we closed down, and in came the mice, although we lived year round on site with 5 cats!
Getting Rid of Mice in Your HomeEarlier in the spring, we heard a rustling in our walls and crawlspace. We started inspecting our home, looking for any entrance holes.
