I would prefer not to drive. I’ve been walking about a ¼ mile to release them. Is that far enough?

Are they getting into a building or just being a nuisance outdoors? You’ll have better luck sealing up a building than you will convincing mice to stay away by choice.

This is a community for people who are working toward a sustainable personal environment. This includes crofters, homesteaders, hobby, small, and family farmers. Hunters, gatherers, cultivators, and keepers are all welcome.

There may be discussions of animal harvesting and processing. This is part of the homesteading reality. If you don’t like it leave and block the community.

RULES:

All Lemmy.ca rules apply here.
Everyone (see rules 4 and 98) is welcome.
If you’ve seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.
There will be ZERO tolerance for shaming, brigading, harassment, or other nonsense of those who keep, hunt, harvest, and process animals. [See rule 98.] You will be permanently banned the first time. You are NOT morally superior because you choose not to.
If you post a picture that includes blood, gore, or a dead animal mark it NSFW. We’re not going to tolerate the militant anti-hunting and anti-farming bullshit here but we’re also not going to tolerate people rubbing their hunting and harvesting in people’s faces. [See rule 98.] If you post blood, gore, or dead animals and don’t mark it NSFW it will be removed.

[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]

If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.
Don’t be a dick. Yes, this is a catch-all rule. Yes, you absolutely can be permanently banned for Rule 98 violations.
The mod(s) have the final say.
