It was a nice day on Sunday, so we tackled the last of leaves to be picked up outside. We have been picking them up for a while now. The trees with the leaves on are oak. Sometimes they drop at this time of year, other times it's not until the new year.
That is grated up Irish Spring soap. We have had a mouse problem all summer. One of the things we were told to do is grate up Irish Spring soap as the mice don't like the smell. Neither do I....but we have the freshest smelling shed around.
We have got rid of the mice, but only because we inserted steel wool in all the ventilation gaps in the shed. We figured out they were getting in there.
As I said another bonus now is our shed smells so fresh!
Have you got your garden put to bed for the winter?

Yep the garden and yard here are in bed for the winter. We left some leaves out for the bugs and such to hide under, but got most raked up and disposed of.
God bless.
I've been out today clearing leaves, its a never ending task this time of year as we have a very large oak tree at the top of our garden. We do have a leaf blower but It's hard for me to start it. Other than leaf collection for the next month or so the rest of the garden is as tidy as it can be.
Glad you go rid of the mice, they can be difficult to get rid of.
Irish Spring soap is only good for mouse control, at least in my mind anyway. That stuff makes me sneeze!
