“Lots of people believe that poison will dehydrate mice when they die, so there’s no smell. That’s a complete myth. Dead mice smell!” Fighting off furry pests There are three things a homeowner should do to prevent mice from moving in. 1. Block All Access Routes Mice can get in your dryer vents, cracks in the foundation or any spaces between decks and sunrooms. Mice have been known to shimmy up a drain pipes leading in the house. Keep them out by plugging openings with steel wool. Scattering mothballs around (beyond reach of pets or children) reportedly discourages mice. 2. Remove Potential Food Sources Garages, often rich with nesting material, also attract mice. If you store pet food or dry goods there, you are providing the second requirement for a mousefest: a steady food source. Birdfeeders are another easy target. 3. Leave No Space Undisturbed To discourage mice tidy and declutter frequently. Mice look for snug homes where they’ll be left alone. Under cupboards, under appliances, in closets you don’t use much; these are all good places to nest. Prevention is best! Know your foe • Mice don’t require water. They get all the moisture they need from food. • They can squeeze through 1/2-centimetre (1/4-inch) openings. • Mice climb well and can jump about 45 centimetres (18 inches) into the air. They can also swim. • Mice prefer highprotein foods such as nuts, seeds, or pet food. They’re not fond of cheese, so use peanut butter to bait traps instead. • Mice are curious, and will investigate objects placed along their paths. • If all their needs are The Usual Suspects met, mice may not venture more than three metres (10 feet) from their nests. • Mice are nocturnal. They make dozens of food-gathering trips each night. • One mouse can produce up to 100 fecal pellets per day, and leave hundreds of small droplets of urine in its travels. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates 20 to 33 percent of the world’s total food supply is lost to rodents. 38 “LIKE” East Gwillimbury’s Bulletin Magazine on FACEBOOK
ADVERTISEMENT THROUGH THE HAYES My name is John Hayes and my wife Julia and I operate Blackwater Golf Course at 21889 Highway 48 in Mount Albert. This month’s topic is Freedom of Speech and the Freedom of the Press. Both of these are rights that we think are entrenched into our very being. So It is bad news to us all when we find out that these freedoms are rocked by money, power and influence. Witness the events of just last week. I still cant believe that this has happened to Canada – we just are not as free as I had believed….. A little background, Canada is rapidly supplanting the Arab oil with oil from the tar sands. This oil is being exported to the United States. It is projected that in the next ten years, the USA will no longer be subject to the power of the OPEC group. I don’t know for sure, but have been told that this is the reason behind Saudi Arabia’s push to censor a “free” Canadian press. If you don’t already know – here’s the story…… A 30-second ad by a Canadian NGO called Ethicaloil.org said that the Saudi’s treat their women worse than their camels. Women can’t vote, drive a car and are considered to be part of a man’s property. This ad is only aired in Canada, but the Saudi’s have hired Norton Rose, a large international law firm to censor the Canadian media. CTV news immediately pulled the ad under the threat of a lawsuit. That’s a real shame – we should be defending our freedoms but CTV’s owner Bell Canada does a ton of work in Saudi Arabia and doesn’t want to jeopardize its income. Yes, Money can talk……… Where is our Government’s outrage, who’s telling the Saudi’s to go rub rock salt. Who’s standing up for Canada.. Does our Government fold to the whim of a dictatorship. Sad, Sad. We need to elect people with a spine. I hope this situation changes . After all, we are rapidly approaching November 11th, when we remember and honour those who fought and gave their lives in order to protect our rights and freedoms. Well, once again, that’s all for now. Please feel free to contact me at Blackwater Golf (905) 473-6684 or contact@blackwater-gc.ca . No rude emails or I can’t forward them……….
