Has anybody heard or used PB blaster to keep mice out. I was once told it worked, and you get a rust preventive also.

I think the research was paid for by the makers of PB Blaster to sell more PB Blaster.

Guy that worked at the town had told me he would spray the inside of gen sets and stopped the mice problem and helped with rust.

We always used moth balls or flakes around our seed piles, and that seemed to slow down or even stop them.

My daughter has a Subaru wagon she doesn't drive much and has been putting drops of peppermint oil around the interior. Says it keeps the mice out, (or maybe she just can"t smell them anymore, lol)

Gotta use Downy dryer sheets. Other brands don't work.

Ok thanks. I was hopping to get the benefit of the rust inhibitor. IV been spraying oil up in my rockers on my truck to help with rust. Been sense like summer that I did last. And it's sat at the shop that's doing the work to it for about a week and them suckers started building in the one rocker. That's where I want to spray up into after I vacuum the nest out.

yep...like Trucker says, gotta be Downy dryer sheets, all others are just nesting material. I've used peppermint oil, soaked into stuff it'll soak into and laid all around in cabs and campers, also used "mouse out" packages and placed them all over in areas where mice might come in. I also use the very sweet fragrant candle wax...the kind you put in a melting pot. I have them all over inside my semi trailer shop, and that seems to work well. only one place it didn't seem to matter what I put in that would deter mice, that was inside the console of my IH combines. finally took the outside panel off after harvest and that solved that problem, put the panel back on before the next harvest.

That must be the case, I tried bounce in my snowmobile one year, just gave them building materials!!! Now I feed them Tom Cat bait chunks. If they are eating the poison, they aren't eating wiring!

For my 180 I broke old style moth balls in two and laid a chunk in each brake rod pockets, no nests since there.

Every year after harvest, I start daily baiting a half dozen Victor mouse traps with fresh peanut butter and place them inside cabs of tractors, combine, trucks, & car. I usually catch 30-40 mice each year. Takes a few minutes each day for about 4-5 weeks of checking traps each morning. After that, I may check once a week & get the really sly ones (2-3 more) before planting times rolls around. Early winter cold temps push them inside cabs.
