Barry Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I had a customer call me and ask how to keep mice from getting into his B-Model whil in storage? I figured I would pose the question to you guys...He said he tried moth balls but there is still evidence of mice...any other suggestions will be helpful!

b61fred Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hi, use fabric softner sheets, like bounce. Throw the sheets around where the little boogers can find them, they will try and use them for building a nest. The smell and the chemicals on the dryer sheets will run them away. don't use the unsented ones, they dont work. They also smell alot better than moth balls. Oh I forgot the best one..... get a cat..works for me. fred Quote 15 gears...no waiting!

I use the 3" chlorine tablets for a pool, just scatter a few around under the truck. I also put 2 lights, one incandesent and floresent, which either keeps them away or makes it easier to see which wires they want to eat. I have not had a problem for 2 years using the two techniques above Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1449-question-for-the-community/#findComment-7173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CML Service Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 When I find evidence of them visiting a area. I ussually leave them a little antifreeze in a old jar lid in case they get thirsty after chewing my stuff. Seems to do the trick for me.

greg Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Irish spring soap cut up into pieces and put around on the floor. Works great for our camper, haven't had any mice in four or five years. Either the soap works or i have just been lucky! lol!

Rob Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hydroflouric acid and Maple syrup stirred together but it leaves carcasses behind.Use a low rim plastic container to hold the mixture so they will not tip or spill it. Also, keep away from anything you do not want to kill as it is fatal once ingested.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Paul Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I put chips of Irish Spring on paper plates in my cars I store. Also I DO NOT put any poison in that building. To the rodents poison is food, if there is food for them they will be there.
