Make sure you use REAL peppermint oil, not the immitatiion oil.
I agree, DCON can cause more issues than it helps. I even use the peppermint oil in my attic at home and I have had no mice for 4 years since I started it. I do find the old fashion mouse traps with peanut butter will catch the few that may be in the MH already.
Good luck and let us know how many critters you find.
