WARNING!!The official mice in trunk thread, Help!

+1 on the glue traps. I have used them for a couple of years now, year round and they work great.

I know of people who have the poison and that works pretty good until they die in a wall and rot. What a smell, yuck !! Nothing like the good ole smell of a rotting mouse.

But the glue traps don't kill them... do they? They just starve to death?

I use glue traps in my garage as well as mothballs on the floor, all the way around the car. I put a bounce sheet in the engine compartment, trunk and passenger compartment. so far, it's been 5 winters with no mice in the car...

Last year I had problem with mices.
Had to chalenge my old cat( approx 8y/o came with wife) after I noticed mice passing by his nose and cat didin't do nothing. So I set traps. I won 10 to 3 against wife's cat .
Since then accuared two more cats. One came by accident wiht the car I bought from notorious guy from Chappel Hill in NC ( but this is different story).

Now I have no problem with mice, chipmunks even a birds. Those two suckers hunts like crazy. Offcourse "girl" cat sets the tone, "accidental" cat keeps up, but he is a boy and he has "another" priorities, so he hunts whenevere he pleased . the old cat? .....

They don't starve if you leave them there for an hour. They chew their body parts off to get away, Reminds me of the beast I picked up in a bar one night while extremely hammered. I sure do miss my arm.....

Reminds me of an experience I had with metal box wind-up mousetraps in a restaurant, the kind that will catch many mice, flipping them live into a holding cell. After several days if they were not emptied you would find one large and well-fed mouse and a lot of feet and tails...

I place many containers of d-con (warfarin pellets) and also "one bite bars" (some other kind of poison) in every corner. The mice only last a few weeks, generally not venturing into the cars. Knock on wood.

And we have a LOT of mice. Last 2 mornings I saw some scurry around when I left for work in the morning - time to put out the poison. They prefer the attached garage as opposed to the detached "barnage".

5 years back we had a hawk nest in front - that got the critters under control. I found chipmunk tails everywhere. Unfortunately they moved out after a year.

The only good mices are dead mices...... This guy was in my engine over cyl #2...cooked him at a DE ......
BTW I use the old fashoned Victory snap traps with peanut butter. Dead in fractions of seconds.

More pics. This is what you can find when disassembling a car stored in a barn for 26 years.









I wish I had taken more photos, there were other nests. Plus skeletons. I think they died of natural causes (i.e. old age). I don't think they were gay either.

[ToddM]

Nah, the gay ones only reside in Targas and Boxters

[burgermeister]

So THAT's what a "Barn Find" is??
