The best graffiti can be counted among the best of public art. This isn't that.

At least when my dog urinates on a wall the rain washes it away.

Graffiti classes with nature.

On a separate topic, Do you think this mint oil based spray would work for ground hornets (or for anything?)? (Please don't answer if it's annoying to be asked this kind of question. Thanks or apologies in advance.)

It should work. I'm going to buy a case of it next year and try it out. I used another mint oil based one and it worked fine, but it cost too much. At 5 bucks a can I can afford to experiment. My only reservation would be that the active ingredient is very dilute.

(I like answering pest control questions--keep 'em coming!)

OK, what's the least cruel way to get rid of mice?

Snap traps, plenty of them, baited with a very small amount of peanut butter. Figure out what they're eating, make sure they can't get at it any more, seal off any gaps or holes, clear brush and weeds from around the house.

I'll try that. Would used cat litter deter them or do you need actual cats?

It might have some effect but I wouldn't want to use it inside.
