So I bought a new house and in the process of fixing it up and moving I asked a friend if I could park one of my cars over at their house. Three weeks into this I stopped by today to check on the car and when I opened the trunk...Freakin Mouse crap!
What's the best way to get rid of em? I put traps with peanut butter and will check again tomorrow.
A buddy has great success with the cheap presliced cheese. Put gloves on when you're dealing with the trap and bait to mask your scent. I'd also NOT put the traps in the car, draw them out.
I've had fun, I mean success, with glue traps in my garage. Mice supposedly like to run on the borders of whatever spaces they inhabit--there's that and just being ready at the entry point (with glue).
Really, if possible, use Dan's cat suggestion. After all the mice that seemed to have come with last winter's rain (they like my attic and my garage), I've found brand-new respect and love for cats as useful members of society. We've got some feral cats nearby; I seem them as unpaid security guards these days. If I see a cat every couple of days, I neither hear nor see mice.
Use bounce dryer sheets .....must be bounce ..any scent . There's something about them that mice don't like ....then toss some traps away from the car . Car will smell nice and mice will be away from it dead in the traps
