Dog was going crazy, found several mice wandering around in my 2 compost piles. These two aren't closed in What can I put in that will repel 'em or kill 'em that won't affect the other little critters that turn plant materials into compost. I don't put any meat, cheese, bread or other protien scraps from Kitchen in them but I sure want to get 'em outa here |

Keep your compost pile moist and aerated and hot! Eventually they will leave. |

I've also seen some composting solutions where everything is buried, and held underground. Would that work to get rid of the mice? I've been hoping to compost for a while, and never thought of the mouse issue until now. |

the simple solution is to borrow your neighbor's cat, let it leave a few piles in the compost, and the mice will flee to a safer zone! several years ago the city of LA Police dept had a huge problem downtown with rats and mice in the parking lot storage bins (police gear, etc), and late night rambles across desks (ugh). they set up a feeding shed to attract feral cats to the lot...problem solved. if you don't want cat feces in your compost, try sprinkling the used litter around the edges. |

I can do you one better I had a friend who wanted some compost back in May of this year so I brought over to the house and we found a family of squirrels living under the fall leaves that are on the end side of the pile.I just left them there. |
