Mouse Nest

You can use strychnine bait too, one kernel and bye-bye, you're dead

I put that **** on everything, ground squirrels, mice, gophers, etc.

Martin's Gopher Bait 50 (Strychnine)

Martin's Gopher Bait 50 is a ready to use treated grain bait made with strychnine to effectively control gophers when applied directly into their tunnels. After ingesting this gopher killing bait, they die within a few hours.

I hit them with everything! Dryer sheets, mothballs, Irish Spring, poison blocks w/peanut butter and traps w/peanut butter.

I bait traps and toss out the bait blocks in the fall when temperature starts to drop at night and in the spring. I set up to 20 traps. I butter the bait blocks on two sides so I can toss them in to corners or under vehicles etc, and they will always land with a buttered side up. I do 15-20 blocks.

Twice a year works for me in northern Ohio. Maybe be different other places. If it’s parked in the pole barn for a week or more the rest of the stuff stays in/goes back in, the vehicle.

Keep in mind, unless you live next to a grain elevator, there is a finite number of mice around your storage building. Hit them hard and it will take a while for the next batch to show up.

It might seem extreme, or a lot of work, or expensive, but it’s nothing compared trying to clean out a dash, or never getting the smell out, or repairing wiring.

I despise coyotes! They ended wild cats, outdoor cats, and most barn cats. I had vehicles stored in unsecured buildings that were basically in the brush/mouseheaven. As long as I left one panel of a door knocked out, I had zero problems. Zero! - For years!

I hate coyotes.

They keep the barn kitten population down at Mother in Law's farm a bit too much.

I saw a mouse stand up on it's tiny little hind legs and Bicth out my cat who couldn't have given less F**fs about it.
Lazy little poop!

intentional mis-spelling of Bicth.*

As a preventative measure, I put these packs in every vehicle I have... one in the cab under a seat, one in the trunk and sometimes jammed somewhere under the hood in a cool area if I see signs of mice under there.

Yes, that's the "good stuff" you have pictured; it kills them with one feeding (reportedly). The cheaper stuff from the same company takes a few feedings.

Whenever any of our vehicles are parked, we open the hood and leave it open. That seems to do a better job of keeping mice out of the engine bay.

Too, we keep the building baited (it's a farm shop) but in the fall it seems there are always mice running around...

We used to have a cat but its curiosity cost it all nine of its lives. She was a good cat... friendly but not too friendly, never got in the way. One summer she evidently wanted to learn what the inside of a combine was like (maybe tracking a mouse?) and she wound up in the combine's grain tank. All we knew was that she wasn't around anymore. Then, come fall, we finally discovered what had happened. Let's just say she was the first thing out of the unloading auger at harvest.

We bought a ketch-all mousetrap. It's a wind-up live trap, so when you get one mouse, the rest come and try and help him. Get 'em all at once.

Ketch-All® Multiple-Catch Mousetrap

The live catch mouse trap that started it all: the “World’s Best Mousetrap.” Our Ketch-All® Multiple Catch Mousetrap requires no bait, is always properly set, and automatically resets after every catch, giving you the peace of mind that comes with constant protection.

I think I've mentioned these somewhere else here before, but these Victor Power-Kill snap traps are awesome. They're super easy to set and place, and the bait cups are recessed so mice pretty much have to step on the platform to gain access. A little dollop of peanut butter works great.
