I really dislike mice... !

At our cabin... this pic was after more than 2 gallons (easily) of seeds poured out of the case, and I'd cleaned that up. After having the gen looked at by 2 techs... not good. The mice had totally destroyed the wiring harness and replacing it would cost more than the unit is worth. Add to that, if a new harness was installed, it's likely the mice would have chewed the windings too (and would find out then), etc...

The techs both said the last 2 winters have been crazy with many folks having equipment destroyed by little bastages...

 

Well, that just isn't gooder.

Gluttonous little bastages.

 

anti-freeze mouse bath................works every time

 

Freaking rodents.


Seems every spring I've gotta figure out what they chewed up on something.

 

We've "re-located" at least 20 mice so far this late summer and fall, here at the house. There were 5 mice, that I saw, when I opened the generator case in the cabin's outhouse. Three re-located and I'm sure the other 2 moved back in when we left. The damage they also did inside the outhouse shows they've been busy.

 

Not to mention the awesome pi$$ smell they leave everywhere they go!

 

Yeah... that "damage" is mostly pi$$ & chit running down every nook, cranny and corner of the outhouse. We've got to clean it up somehow. Any suggestions? Besides burning the whole thing?

 

I had them get into the plenum on my car and truck this summer. Got off with 2 cabin filters replaced.

 

Eliminate the first word, and make it a statement instead of a question and there's your answer. 3 fried mice, 3 fried mice, see how they run.............

 

I think if you eat a big bowl of chili and drink a six pack of beer you won’t notice the mouse smell the next time you use the outhouse!

 

Not sure he'll MAKE it to the outhouse if he does that, Jack.

 

I work at an auto dealership, recently got a job that said no air from left side hvac vents, smells like mice. I go out and as soon as I open the door the smell of death punches me in the face. Pretty much need to gut the truck to get to the hvac plenum. The more I took parts out the more damage I found. A 2017 f250 with 1430miles was totaled by the insurance company.

 

No Chit !!!!!!!!!!.................................

 

I get them in my shed... I hate them! And they stink to high heaven when they die inside.

I mostly poison them now, but they just keep coming...

Sorry to hear about your nice Honda.

 

Snap traps. Keep emptying and resetting until they don't snap.

I dislike poison due to secondary killing of whatever finds the bodies.

 

Chippies really like those.

 

Clorox makes a urine eliminator. Try spraying that all round

 

peppermint oil keeps them at bay. or fresh cab supposedly but I've never used fresh cab.
To get rid of the smell, I would try natures miracle, use it liberally.
I hate them too, they ruin my tarps every year.. I always seem to find the hole they chewed on the coldest weeks of the winter
and the wood is wet and frozen. Chippies too. I shoot those with my .22 though when I get the chance. Good aiming practice.
