PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE: Still skittering across our desk like happy dancing mice are tips from readers on how to deal with the sundry rodents that haunt our house. We have tried most of them, and to recap, they include: urea (smells like it sounds), an Austrian-made pellet gun that a rich and eccentric plastic surgeon bought for our granddad along with a really fine box of bird calls that we lost because we acquired them when we were too young to appreciate fine bird calls, mint, a fire extinguisher, a rat-zapper, a humane trap, a "human" trap, poison, high-frequency noise emitters, an air horn and wolf/coyote urine.
There are some obvious hazards involved procuring urine from a coyote or wolf, and by obvious we're referring to the claw and teeth marks on our arms, neck and face.
