Do gerbils deter mice from your home?

I heard somewhere that if you keep a pet gerbil you won't have mice infestations. Is this true?Do gerbils deter mice from your home?
I have never heard that. Doesn't even make any sense to me unless you plan to let the gerbils run wild and build their own nests all over your house.





Best prevention for keeping away mice is to seal up any cracks...even the tiniest of crevices...to keep them out. No heavy shrubbery and foliage close to the house. And keep garbage covered and away. Don't let food sit out and around, they can smell it a mile away.





Never heard the gerbil thing. Wouldn't believe it either, or I would have heard of it by now.Do gerbils deter mice from your home?
If anything, they'll draw them. There is always uneaten food and ';stuff'; in the bottom of their cages. Traps are best.
