I have mice and they sampled everything?!
I just discovered mice are in my pantry and have sampled everything in there (flour, marshmallows, cereal bars, spaghetti noodles, dried beans)!. Even though there is a tiny hole (about 2 mm diameter) in the flour and pancake mix, is it still ok to cook up and eat!? Or do I need to throw it all away!?
This may be a dumb question but I hate that everything will be wasted and I will be set back financially to replace everything in my pantry!.
What's your advice!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Toss it all!. These rodents can be very germy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Mice are extremely unsanitary and, unlike other animals, they don't mind pooping where they''ve been eating!. In fact, they contaminate a lot more food than they eat!.
I'd be totally skeeved out at the thought of mice pooping in my food and would toss it all out, or in my case, compost it!. Consider re-packaging your newly-purchased food in lidded plastic bins and jars to prevent mice (and other pantry pests) from getting at it!.
Use a chopstick to pack steel wool into any small holes in your shelves and cabinets to prevent the mice from returning!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

To be on the safe side, throw everything away that shows signs of infestation and get some "D-Con" and follow the instructions on the package!. You don't want to be eating what mice have been feeding on!.
