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.

I've found that the peanut butter only works once it's old. When used fresh the little buggers more often than not get a full belly and leave you hanging.

If you take a fruit strip and cut it into small rectangles, these can easily be clamped into most mouse traps. When the mice go for a snack they need to tug on the fruit strip and bingo, one less critter to worry about.

Traps are the only way to go!!!

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?.

I saw the antifreeze trap looks nice. In the trunk is a good idea!!!!!!!!

It scares me a little because of the dogs. I had a Rott that I think got into some antifreeze a couple of years ago and had to put her down.

I think Rick had a dog last year that got into coolant.

Seen Verminators that show is awesome!!!!!
