I’ve also read about the electronic devices that plug into an outlet that emit a noise rodents can’t tolerate. They say the noise doesn’t bother dogs or cats. I called the vet and emergency vet neither know if that is true or not. Does anyone here know if these devices work? Do they bother the dogs? I have a cat that used to be a great mouser, but has since retired, sadly.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The vets said they had heard of peppermint oil and thought it worked. The emergency vet especially stressed…NO POISON. The emergency vet recommended I call an exterminator and they could tell me if these things harm dogs/cats. My feeling is that an exterminator is going to tell me I need them to come out and take care of it…usually meaning poison.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Does anyone know of a natural method that works?!!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Kathy<o:p></o:p></p></div><FONT size=1 face=Verdana>
