Sounds like ant poison-- borax and caro syrup. Ants eat it and burn up from inside. Cornmeal and plaster, eh? Might have to try it if I run out of .22 bird shot. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Since you mentioned sitting around with a shotgun, I just bought some rat shot for my .22. It may not be all that effective since I have a scope on the gun and I only see the mice at close range but it will be fun trying it out.

I have been joking to friends that maybe the solution to mice in buildings is to build milkcrate sized wooden nests for them. Maybe subdivide it. Drill a few 1" access holes. Put fiberglass insulation in it. A mouse motel.

In other words, give them a more desirable home than the tractor, boat, car, ...

You can still practice population control with traps etc.

I have not tried it but it might work.
