as salaamu alaikum I know I read somewhere a fatwa regarding not killing rodents by way of sticky traps as this was a form of torture but I can't find it anywhere, could someone help me out insha'Allaah walaikum asalaam
Also, I was reading from a site which contained the following suggestion for "Getting Rid Of Mice". This seemed pretty harmless to me, but whether or not it works, Allaahu 'alam. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give it a try :
quote:
The best part about this is that you don't have to worry if you have kids. Take a bottle of peppermint extract and a handful of cotton balls. Find the places where you know you are having mice come in your house. Wet down a few cottonballs with the peppermint extract and place them in or near the area of entry (like where your drain pipe meets your floor under your sink). Mice won't come back that way. This worked for us when nothing else (including poison and steel wool) did.
