Dru,

tried those in the shed last year and they didnt seem to work. I think they work for a while and then the aminals get used to them

Maybe if we parked your yenko in there for a while it would scare them away (just leave the keys in case i need to move it!!)

I would just put a couple mouse traps with cheese in the trunk and seating area. Roll up the windows so the pets can't get them.

Peanut butter on a trap is better than cheese. I use it alot.

Yep, works great for me too. Plus, if you don't catch them, at least they'll stay busy the rest of the day licking the roof of their mouth.

I used peanut butter on a regular mouse trap and they would lick it off without setting the trap. My suggestion would be to smash cheese on the trigger of the trap. Just use a reg mouse trap and check it daily, then you will be done. I would also suggest placing several traps next to each wall of your garage to catch any other perpetrators. Place it bait side towards the wall. There usually is more than one.

If you can be sure to keep it locked inside the car or trunk away from pets/kids, don't forget the glued peanuts on the log-roller/bucket of antifreeze trap posted here before..
I believe you can leave it unattended for the season since the antifreeze pickles the caught critters?.

If you put the trap in the trunk make sure you put some newspaper under the trap. Those traps can get messy sometimes. I have found that placing the trap under the car, rather than in it, is just as effective.
