Default Re: Mice in you A during winter.

I will post this again like last year when the mouse thing came up. I used dryer sheets in one of my cars and the meese made a nest with them. They were the strongly scented type. Their nest did smell good, however. Needless to say, I don't use dryer sheet any more. I agree with other posters that old fashion mothballs work very well. I put some in plastic disposable pie pans with plastic covers on them. I drill a bunch of 1/4" holes in the plastic cover to let some of the smell out, but preserve the mothballs for much longer than just in the open air before they evaporate. The third thing I have tried and and seems to work well, is take some aluminum foil (the wide stuff) and place it under the tires. Mice don't like aluminum. I also put it under the overhead door bottoms to hopefully keep them from even entering the shop. I also place the pie pans with mothballs in them near the doors to hopefully repel them.
