Technical Winter,s around the corner here in Mn Keeping the mice out of the engine compartment ?

How do I keep spiders out? I almost had one drop in my mouth when I was working under the car yesterday

I have had great results with Fresh Cab rodent repellent. Its all natural and available on Amazon but I buy it at my local Ace Hardware to support local business. It is strong but it works great.

 

That thing looks deadly..... Like the ones I had to deal with in S.E. Australia as a kid..... ........

 

I keep most of the dead mice I find picked up, but that’s very few. They usually crawl into a hole and die. Most birds of prey only eat live animals, so no worries there. A poisoned dead mouse won’t kill a cat or dog, may make the sick for a day or two, but they will survive. Buzzards are too scared to land near my house, so..... I think I have things covered.

Yep, it's that time of year again, when invariably if you walk outside with your arms full of stuff, your face gets full of cobweb, or worse:

 

Joyce Standridge in her column in this issue of Speedway Illustrated has the perfect solution-they have a garter snake that live in their garage!Eats all the mice-no smell!dont think it would work in Minnesota unless garage is heated all the time.Thats the answer,have a shop snake[dated a girl once,that was her nickname-whole different issue]

 

Mothballs or move south or west.

I don't cover my cars anymore in the winter. I leave the hoods and trunks open. Rodents don't like light. I also stuff steel wool into the tail pipes. A few years ago I started my Malibu in the spring and blew a mouse out of one of the exhaust pipes. I have also caught them with glue traps. I have not had any issues for a couple of years since leaving things open.

 

Old thread but it is winter and we are dealing with nasty little critters again.
This popped up on FB a minute ago and I had to laugh that they want 30 bucks for it when several of us have done it for the cost of a little bit of peanut butter, a scrounged bucket, a 20 Oz pop bottle and a jar of dollar tree peanut butter.

 

Built one of these two years ago (, poisoned mice Kill owls and hawks)
The mouse swimming pool caught 23 mice
This fall till this date !

 

The latest generations music would drive me out.............

 

Get one of these. I did.

 

Thanks! I needed a good laugh after a bad day at work.....
