Everybody has a solution their Gramps or Uncle Busky or neighbor told them about. Most are sheer folktale... but hey, they keep the elephants and aardvarks away, too.

If you're serious about rodent control, talk to your local ag university or county agent or equivalent. They'll tell you some specific, effective ways to control critters and pests, often a lot cheaper than anything you buy down at the hardware store. In my experience (aided with good, professional advice), there's never one solution. It has to be a combination of sealing up access holes and cracks, putting away ALL attractants, and then using traps etc. to nuke the persistent ones.

I think we're going to need to nickname you Cliff Claven. You know way too much about rodents.
