Rodent prevention

[kossetx]

Not many people ever respond to this advice but it works for me. Buy some stick rat bait with the hole all the way through the center. There are several makers but I like the green stuff. It's a little waxier/tougher.

Put a wire through the bait and wire that to some hoses or wires in various places around your vehicles. The mice are hungry and this is food in a dry area. They eat the food and leave the wires alone. They also croak. I also wire some to an old food serving tray in my garage. They can't steal and hide the bait as they are prone to do and it makes clean-up easy when they pee and poop everywhere. Hope it helps! MP

I've got a half a dozen cats (all fixed) that live at my barn and hay shed. Mice don't last long and they even catch moles out in the fields. I'm accused of being pretty stingy with the cat food, but that seems to give them an added incentive to forage for their dinner.....all of them are fat and healthy.

I'll place moth balls in a sock, and place it in the engine compartment and so forth. The balls need to be replenished every so often.
