There is a recipe for homemade mice repellant and a homemade humane mouse trap here:

I've had great success with this humane trap in my house:

I've caught over ten mice with it so far and it can be used over and over indefinitely.

If you do live trap mice, please be sure to check the traps several times a day and release the mice promptly, approximately a mile away from your home. It is much more cruel to allow a mouse in a live trap to slowly starve to death than to kill it quickly with a snap trap. When you release the mice, do it in an area with some sheltering bushes or plants. If you are a kind person, you might also leave a little bird seed or oatmeal for them.

The absolute cruelest traps are glue traps. Mice have been known to gnaw off their own limbs and tear off their skin in an effort to escape, as they starve or dehydrate to death or suffocate in the glue. It can take three to five days for them to die. Poison isn't any better, as the mice die slowly and painfully from internal bleeding. It can take up to a week for them to die, and then they smell as they rot behind your walls.

It doesn't take much extra effort to be kind. You will feel better and so will the mice! Good luck!

Answer 3

Moth balls & dryer sheets both help, but are not 100% effective. I'm afraid you'll have to find out how the mice get in & block it off. Then you can use traps and poison to get rid of the ones still in there. Sorry!
