Keeping mice out of your tractors engine bay over the winter and summer too.

I used these windup traps and have caught 1/2 dozen at times before I got back to check them. Sometimes 2 mice go in and the 2nd jams the trap. Other then that they work great at weeding down the population to zero.

I stick with the scented dryer sheets, the stinker the better. The Snuggles brand are the biggest stinkers I have found so far and they are cheap too. A couple sheets placed in strategic locations, under the hoods and in the cabs do it real well but they do stink up the entire barn as well.

They are gross stinkers.

If I have dogs and other animals getting into my equipment storage area and causing damage they can also pay the price for trespassing and doing damage.

Raccoons are more destructive than rats.

My last Tomcat order was 2016 and it worked well but since banned in California

For some things I could order with Washington delivery but Washington tends to ban much of the same things California does.

Rabid Racoons destroyed the interior of my 1968 Mustang Convertible... it was in carport under cover and had no idea until I lifted the cover one Spring

Sorry for your loss! I had a 65 coupe for 35 years, I can’t imagine how you must’ve felt !

I have two things I do to keep nesting critters out of things. First I give them no refuge, maybe leave the hood open, things like that, it diminishes confined spaces for nests. I also trap aggressively using two Tom Cat brand traps that are large enough for rats or chipmunks. They are tunnel type traps, they get everything down to a shrew. Good luck.

Evil can't stand the light or noise. I have an LED light and a radio playing in all my outbuildings. Works on 4 and 2 legged critters. Still use cinnamon cotton balls for the crafty mice though

The bright lights and a radio seem to be a good deterrent for birds too. Birds getting/nesting in my shop is my biggest animal issue. Poop everywhere and its corrosive.

I got 2 feral cats 4 yrs ago. They live in the barn where I park my tractors and car.
Kitty has been sleeping on the hood. You just know there aint no mice around. Prior to barn cats we had all sorts of rodent problems like engine nests and chewed wiring.
Now my only problem is feeding and watering them ~ easy peasy and effective solution.

The coyotes, foxes and mountain lions get anything that is out except for gown cattle and horses...

Neighbor lost a calf and another several goats... you would think in a urban fringe area it would be different.

You and your neighborhood need to consider introducing the predators to a new friend acquired by your animals.
