: : : Sad to relate, the only true solution is to have the concrete repaired or replaced.

: : : Where is the aviary located?  If it is in a backyard, you could encourage a feral neighborhood cat to take up residence in your yard.  Keep in mind that if you do this, you really should provide some form of shelter , vaccinations, and -- if the cat is female -- neutering.

: : : : I have had my outdoor aviary for 3 years now and this is the first time I have had mice in it.  The floor is concreet and they are digging throug the concreet.  the hairline cracks in the floor are now big enough for the mice to get through.  I put wire where the floor boards meet the concreet and they are chewing up the wood to get in.  I was told dryer sheets would work.(haha) I have put in a rodent repeller you install in the ground.  that evening I saw a mouse.  Then I plugged in an electronic rodent and bug reppler that evening I saw a nother mouse.  I have even been spraying vinegar aroud where they have been comming in.  NOTHING WORKS!  
: : : : does anyone have any suggestions?  I need to get them out before my birds start laying eggs and the mice have something else to eat.
: : : : any suggestions would be appriciated.

: : Hello Jodi:
: : I guess you must have a lot of birds if you have an outdoor aviary.  I would keep the birds indoors if at all possible.  I hate the thought of mice around canaries because they can spread disease to the canaries and also frightened them to death besides eating the eggs.  I would bring the canaries indoors if at all possible.
: : Good Luck and please keep us posted.

: Grace,
: I would love to have them inside.  That would upset my husband to the point that it is not worth it.  I understand what you mean about spreading diease that is why I am trying to find a way to keep them out.  Hey!  I could use a glue trap.  I have a special plastic box that mice and spiders can get into but that my birds can't.  I'll try that.  along with replaceing the concreet and using vinegar on a regular basis.  It works for a day or so.  Thanks!
: Jodi
