Not sure, But looks like the fox is in the process of changing some matter. Maybe you could get some Kling-ons to place strategically. Before they are taken away to a galaxy far far away on a salami starship. :wh::D:wwp::thanks:

IF and only IF there arn't any other animals,(pets) or small kids around....some bread soaked in anti freeze will kill them dead, but it's lethal, tastes sweet, critters dig it. But if anything else gets to it, well... :D

What we do at deer camp for during the week is take a 5 gallon pale, notch the top sides some so that a small dowel fits snug in it crossways in the middle. Then take like a 3 foot long 1by from the ground to the pale next to the dowel. We fabed a little deal out of a coat hanger that hangs from the middle of the dowel about 4" down filled with peanut butter.. They can't help themselves!!! Now we bet money weekly on how many mice are gonna be in the pale when we get there :D 5 was the lowest week last year. Good luck! Kevin

the 5 gallon bucket works great. drill 2 holes to put a rod across the top of the bucket . slide the rod thru the drilled holes. and a beer can. center the can in the opening of the bucket and place peanut butter on the can. when they get onto the can it rolls them off and they drop into the bucket and drown. at dear camp we use antifreeze so it does'nt freeze in the bucket , but at home i use water .

my nieghbor tryed the original sent bounty sheets around the engine in his deere that sits in a shed and it worked.

my saint bernard wanders around the tractors and sheds daily and lets me know when she finds a mouse nest. it has become her job and she is obsessed with hunting mice. the wasp are another weekly battle. a propane torch works good on any nest they build on metal.

I'll rent out my cat. I have never had such a good mouser as her. I had a mouse in attic that I spent months trying to catch. One day I heard it running around up there and just decided on a whim to throw the cat in there. five minutes later she was eating it.

I work as a mechanic and I'm seen some amazing things that mice do

Aside from amusement, I'm also following this thread after having just taken the tins off the motor of 312-8 #1 for the umpteenth time. I left the tractor outside for a couple days (nice weather - Horses deserve to breathe fresh air, too!) and the beady eyed little bastids started a nest beside the coil.

For what it's worth, I have used the Bounce dryer sheets before with some success, but I did find I needed to change them about once a week.....or they became nesting material. :D

I used to have a mouse problem in my garage. I found out that my son was leaving suckers in all kinds of places in the garage. He was getting the suckers from the daycare lady at the end of the week. I had thought that I was careful about not letting any potential food source laying around in the garage. Well, little did I know my son was leaving his suckers laying around feeding them (not on purpose)! Two years ago, I noticed that a red-tailed hawk was sitting in a dead tree just a couple of lots down from where I lived. Needless to say, I did not see one mouse that year at all. Get a hawk and your mouse problems will be over!

The bucket with the peanut butter on a can or plastic bottle works very well. We put one out in the garage where I store my boat last winter, and this was the first year I have not had those buggers in my boat when I took it out. At one point this winter, there were over 25 mice in that bucket that had drowned.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that having a red-tailed hawk around also keeps the squirrels at bay as well. Nothing like having a top tier predator around to keep the rodents in check.

My Dad let a black snake live in his shop for many years to keep the mice down. It worked good. We would see the black snake in the rafters above us as we worked. He didn't bother us and we left him alone.

yea, we caught every chicken snake we could and would bring them home and let lose in the hog barn. Just start them down a rat hole they will take care of the rest. As long as they stayed out of hen house they where appreciated and those found misbehaving where just moved back to the barn. :D

I'd rather have a dozen mice as to have 1 snake!
