I recently had a mouse problem in my greenhouse. All the seeds I planted last Monday have been devoured! I set up a mouse trap and even used a camera to see what was going on. I managed to catch one mouse on the trap, but the camera showed that there's another one that's been digging through all my pots. It's already destroyed my sweet peas, tomatoes, peppers, radishes, and nasturtiums. I don't have enough empty jars to cover the pots, so I'm looking for other ways to keep mice from munching on my seeds. Any suggestions?

You should definitely add more traps! I'm currently setting up my greenhouse again and I've been baiting my traps with biscoff spread. It works like a charm! Just be careful where you place them—too close to your pots might attract even more mice.
Consider getting a cat specifically for the greenhouse. They can be great at keeping the rodent population in check! Although, if your cats are spoiled like mine, they might prefer their warm blankets over hunting mice! You could also try to entice a local cat to come around; sometimes they love hanging out where there are easy pickings.
Haha, my three cats would never leave their cozy spots! Luring in the neighborhood cat might be an excellent plan though.
Haha, right? Those little guys don't deserve biscoff! I'll make sure to buy more traps. Should I put them near the pots or is that risky?
