He corrected my wiring job and we fired it up. Then came the most godawful smell along with a lot of burned grass seed. After three running sessions we could finally bear to remain in the garage. Then we saw plastered to the wall a fresh rodent carcass and two little pink blobs of flesh. The rest were apparently bbq'd.

Cannonball mice
We had one blow out of a tailpipe it shot across the shop then was doing circles before it dropped. Lol

A video of that would be priceless.

Those Rotten Rodents...........

I had a chipmunk playing around in my shop and it worried me everyday that Lil' Alvin would hone in on Miss Tillie. I had cleaned her up for a Car Show and found Lil' Alvin floating in a half bucket of cleaning water....

Gonna miss that little character.................................Not !

I was draining the antifreeze over night from one of my cars and when I opened the shop in the morning there were two little chippers floating in the antifreeze reservoir. Wayne

I like the tin can idea plus it automatically detaches when you leave the garage.

Sometime ago someone suggested several moth balls. Apparently the critters don't like the smell. Does this work?

The can on the gear shift is a reminder to pull the can off the tail pipe.

Here's what we found in the motor we pulled from my roadster. It appears to be a good portion of my front seat.

Mothballs work to keep the mice out of my cars, but they didn't keep 2 moths out of my Studebaker last summer. You can buy 4 flypaper rolls for a buck at the dollar store, and they catch quite a few flying insects.
