It's mice season again.
What is the definitive answer to keeping the critters at bay? The SL is finally right so I don't want a tit mouse ****** up my hard work.
Moth balls? traps? Shrink wrap? Pungi sticks? |

They've been taking up residence in my house recently. I just bait which kills them. (cumudin?)

Don't use poison. The last thing you want is a mouse to take a hit on the bait and then go for a dirt nap under the front seat. Trap them - period.
This is a R129 right? If the hardtop isn't installed, put it on. |

I keep about 6 traps around the SL with peanut butter on them. I usually get
4 or 5 right away, then nothing for the rest of the winter. This is in a detached garage that has openings,, I guess,, for the critters to get in.

There was a thread that was dug up not too long ago in response to deal with critters. I believe the title was "Diesel Critters!".
A couple of the suggestions were moth balls and cracking the hood of the car so the protective effect of the engine bay is lost.

Traps with peanut butter works best. I caught 16 of them last winter.
Then suddenly there were no more....

Traps work well.
I have been told they hate dryer sheets.

A couple of good barn cats that you only feed every three or four days.

Thank you.
I find the classic bait, cheese, to work perfectly. I caught the bugger that crapped next my keyboard 2 nites ago on cheese. |
