what do you use for mice?
 
so after having about $1400.00 damage to my 2013 370 with only 425 miles- the question is : what do you use or what have you tried to keep the mice out of the cars and garage ? I just started using the moth balls in the old socks also have loaded up another old car with drier sheets . what else have you tried ?:confused:

I have poison tablets all over my garage. Haven't had a issue since.

Take a 5 gallon bucket cut two small holes on each side of the top where the lid snaps down and fill the bucket with 5 or so inches of water. Next take a pop can and run a piece of haywire through it lengthwise (you will need to pop a hole in the bottom of the can) and tie the haywire to each hole in the bucket that you just made.

Take a bit of peanut butter and spear it around the can. Now put a small piece of wood leading up to the lip of the bucket to act as a ramp. Now when the mouse runs up to get the peanut butter it will jump on the can and fall into the water and drown. Works every time and you dont have to worry about only getting one, those suckers will continue to jump in till there is none left and they will leave the cars alone.


My mom has a 350Z that we parked in the garage all winter long without any sort of mouse traps or anything like that. When we went to pull it out of the garage in the spring and poped the rear truck the mice had stockpiled a huge pile of dogfood (out door dogs that were fed outdoors) ontop of where the spare tire is. It must of took them all year, there was probably a good 5-8 lbs of dog food in the truck of the car. haha.

I know the feeling. I went all summer without my streetbike because my wire-harness was chewed through. My solution involved an IR Surefire weapon light, an air rifle pellet gun, and a good set of night-vision goggles, and lots of patience.

I live in a major metropolitan area. No mice, just weirdos to deal with ;)

I have Sheldon. He is our outdoor cat that sleeps in our garage. He is an excellent hunter.

I need to set that up in my shed. Fortunately I have not had a problem with any mice in my garage. I guess part of the reason is there is really nothing in there but the cars, so no real reason for them to hang around. But, the shed is another story. Plenty of junk stashed in there to make it very inviting for the little beasts.
