Mice in the garage

[D.A. HUNTER]

try moth balls, we had mice in our travel trailer and it ran them out pretty fast

[Michael Chittum]

I get them every fall. I have found that mouse traps and sticky traps placed all over the garage usually takes care of them. I also put a couple on each side of the garage door up against the wall so when they do come in or go out they are nailed. They like to follow the wall so if you put them there you will catch them against the wall walking down it....dont like the smell of the dead mice so I dont chance the poison.

Wife won't let me stick her cat in the garage because the mice "might carry disease". .

.... ok... so what's the purpose of the cat then?

snap traps and peanut butter.

Get out the trusty Red Ryder BB gun and do a live hunt.

We used traps before we got 3 cats. I would check them every morning and annoucne that I was checking the trot lines My wife said I was enjoying it too much.

Get a couple of those electronic anti-mouse noise devices from Walmart, Lowes, HD. You can buy a pack of three for around $20. Plug them in. Poison. Sticky pads.

Traps will work just fine. the problem with the poison is the run off and die, then you have to smell them later. I hate that smell. After about a week you'll catch all the mice. They're coming in to find food, it's so dry they have little to eat, plus they are probably looking for a good place to build a nest. Cheese or peanut butter on about three traps will knock em out quickly!

Put you a rat snake in there.

Glue Traps!!

The electric traps D cell size with dog food for bait work well. Or get a free cat to good home off craigslist and leave in the garage.

I promise this will work, if you don't want to use poison put you some lids out before you go to bed and pour coke in them, mice or rats will drink it up and will sufficate, they can't expell the gas. Also make sure you don't have your pets in there when you do it.

This really does work well. Did it last year after a buddy told me about it. The only bad part is that I had to clean the garage afterwards to find the dead mice. But it works.

Sticky traps along all the walls and figure out where/ how they're getting in.

having fought a mouse problem the sticky traps are way better than the snap traps!!,, the glue pads dont need to be reset or checked as frequent, and they do work extremeley well,, even had a 3 and a half foor rat snake get in the house somehow,, glue trap even got him!!!

since the mice problem we just started keeping glue traps out all the time in out of the way places,,, it would thrill you to see all the things they catch you never see!!!!,, especially spiders, and roaches!! you can leave them out for months at a time as long as its not too dusty!

the snap traps did work just a pain, and way messier... the poison also worked,, until one of them little suckers didnt get out and the stench 1 little mouse can put out is un real!!!!

I think I've narrowed it down to the purpose of the cat is to lay down on my head when I'm asleep, and consequently get haymakered into the wall. It's like the battle of good and evil. When I'm awake, he fears me and will race out of the room as soon as I enter. Still training him to fear me when I'm asleep.

Live hunt with the pellet gun may happen if I've got some ammo reloading or fletching to do.
