A la Rodents: Forewarned is Forearmed

   The Cub Cadet is in for repairs--again. The problem is chewed wiring--again. I appreciate all living things, but necessity rules.
   The mice have their options. (1) They can be repelled. Who knew peppermint odor could be so overpowering. Plus, a Brillo pad placed on the engine discourages them, I'm told. I'm not so sure. 2) They can taste of peanut butter, and be caught in a trap. (3) They can eat of the little toxic bricklets, even take them to their nests and do away with the family.,
  Yes, I know it's cruel. (All but the repellent, though my eyes and nose are still watering just from opening the outer pack.)  But the usual cost for their nibbling has been $300 to $400. and this year probably more, as the shop charges pickup and delivery.  So mice, Fair Warning, followed by death.
