All Rodents are allergic to Peppermint Oil. Put a little oil on a Cotton Ball and throw it in the corners of the Room(s) where you have seen the mouse. I had one in the wall behind my sink, so I put the oil on the Cotton, turned my hot hair dryer on it, and it left!
Throw the cotton ball down a Gopher Hole, etc.

Very good idea! We have never had a mouse in the house since we have lived here , but it's destined to happen - they say that all houses will have at least one, unless the area is not indigenous and conducive to mice (which are very few). I know that if we did, I definitely wouldn't want to replace the drywall after poisoning or trapping it (killing it), and warding it off with your remedy is definitely a plus! Thanks and take care! :)

Ways to keep mouse away
Vermin, they can ruin your lives and property. Today we have no Pied Piper who can drown these wretched pets, but yes, we do have some sure fire methods that can settle them for good. In case your house/property is under attack by mice, these should help:
• Check and plug all holes outside your house including the smallest ones (a mouse can crawl through space as small as the tip of the little finger!). These are ideal places for mice to hide and breed.
• Do not leave any food material, including garbage in the open. Once mice are starved they will definitely leave the house in search for greener pastures.
• Poison pellets and traps work well to get rid of mice. Ideally use pellets that force mice to come out in the open and die.
• Do not handle dead vermin with bear hands. They are known to carry deadly diseases! Wear gloves while handling them!
• This may sound simplistic, but no trap can beat the work of a cat. So get a feline companion who will get rid of the trouble makers.
Mice are not a reflection on your sanitary concepts. These mammals breed at a super rate – over 13 litters a year, so getting rid of one won’t work!
