“Put them at the entrances to kitchen near appliances.

“Mice like to run along the walls so put them between appliances and cabinets, and anywhere else you can think.

“Apparently mice don’t like them so it’ll save you money on having to hire pest control, and it’s a little bit more humane as trust me you don’t want to have to wake up every single morning cleaning up dead mice from mice traps.”

The best part is you can pick up the stainless steel scourers for as little as £1.50 from Dunelm.

Some viewers asked how the scourers work, and Jen explained: “They don't come in.

“They get in the house other ways but if they can't get to the food source, they don't stay.”

People were quick to comment on the cheap hack, with one person saying: “They work!”

Another added: “Use the finest steel wool you can get.. Only thing that works for us and jts even cheaper.

“You need to block their entry with it if you can.”

However, one person wasn’t a fan, and said: “ha, I noticed that I was missing all of my metal scrubbies and later learned mice had stolen them to make a nest underneath my cabinet.”

A second wrote: “Ha.. mine jumped over it. Didn't work for me.”
