i have alot of them small drawer cabinets in my semi trailer shop/storage. went out to get a couple bolts and them suckers had crawled up inside the back of several cabinets and made a nest plus pee'd on about all the stuff inside. i yanked out the nests and was glad they didn't pee on the ones i needed, but i pulled out all the drawers part way, maybe they won't go in and lay now. i guess when it warms up i'll hafta figger out some kinda backing to mount or set the cabinets to. i need to catch them suckers and mail them to someone! Joe...you need some to feed all yer snakes down there?

We have mice that enjoy those ultrasonic contraptions. Irish spring soap, bounce sheets, a mouse product our JD dealer sells, cats and sometimes need a trap! It’s a never ending battle.

I still use a Bucket trap with a touch of dawn soap in the water. They fall in and lack of surface tension they drown fairly quickly. ONLY drawback is they NEVER STOP COMING to the trap. Have dumped literally HUNDREDS out behind the barn where possum and such eat them up.

My 8 cats who I "Allow" to habitate in my garage are quite satisfied with the meager numbers of mice in the garage and outside,,,,Fact is,,I ain't seen a mouse in the longest,,,!! I do gots two Momma Kittys that are pure Sluts as they will allow the neighbor Boy cats to come "Visit" pretty regular. I'm thinkin, I'm gonna start sending the neighbors a bill for "services rendered",,,,,  OH,,and NO Snakes,,Ya hear,,!!

I think the neighbors should be sending you the bill for "servicing" the cats!
I called some place once about a bill or something and after talking to the young sounding woman, she asked me if there was anything else that she could be of service for. I told her I felt I'd been serviced enough, she laughed. Probably a farm girl.

I set up a bucket trap back when we had chickens and rigged it up to a 25 mile 12 volt fencer. They would get nailed when they reached the bait tray and fall in the water. I think a pack rat got in there cause I checked it one morning and it was destroyed and no varmint. Had it in the chicken house.

Get some cats, we've had cats on and off in the shed over the years, but finally went to the shelter and picked up a couple of feral cats as permanent residents, keep 'em in the shed with food and water, no more mice. Still got a possum this year tho'.
Walmart sells giant bags of outdoor cat food for $20 and it lasts forever.

Since the 5 - 6" snow they've started eating the bait in the sheds. Refilled the bait boxes today ALL of them were empty, will keep them filled until eating drops off. Them just some bait in each shed.

Ammonia, basically whats in mothballs. It messes up their sense of smell and they do not like it. I place a sponge in a rectangle cheap Tupperware and drill 1/2 inch holes in the top . Soak the sponge with Ammonia and put top on . Refresh every 2 to 3 weeks. Place in drawer and no mo mice

In this post you complain about the mice, in another you're bad mouthing the coyotes, you have the answer to your problem here. Put the dogs in the Burb and leave the doors open in the house for the coyotes to come in and get the mice, problem solved! LOL
