I have had great success with dryer sheets. They smell a butt-load better than mothballs when you haul it out in the spring too! 8 or 10 in all different places. Two to three years running with no horror stories.

I don't like to put decon down. Mice consider it food and I don't want to invite them in. Even if it's their last meal. lol
I have two plug in pest repeller's that I have electric wired to set on the floor. After all that's were the mice are.
My cars are not stored in any heated garage. Again, I don't want to give the mice a reason to move in.
Dryer sheets and moth balls under the cars and that's it.
I have had no problems so far.

Aye, and the lasses like it too!! :groucho: I haven't had problems with mice, but I'd be willing to try the dryer sheets in and under the car - just to be sure. Thanks for the info Mac - I'd not heard about using Irish Spring soap as mouse repeller before today.

All I use is electronic repellents. I have not even seen any evidence of mice in the 9 years of having my pole barn. That's more that I can say for the house. We caught one the other night in the bathroom.

What are the devices you're using Harold?

Just...when... I was starting to like you... Maybe there is some kind of F8 addiction rehab available for:jester: like you...

after seeing what the paint is going to cost, I'm slowly turning into Switzerland and fully embracing neutral Grey. Not sure of the paint code though....

I use the old fashioned traps that have the trigger that looks like a piece of cheese,the Victor brand ones,the knockoffs don't work as they take the bait and don't trip them. A bit of peanut butter on the trigger and set them along the walls. Keep it up till you see no more mice in the traps.
