Big_Mark Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 When I bought my Comanche it had a nest in the AC box, which I cleaned out and life was grand. Now I live in the sticks and have a barn to keep it (and my 69 Mach 1 Mustang) in and over the winter the friggin mice have moved in and p****d up both interiors. I know I am not going to be able to get rid of the mice, I live around blueberry fields and pastures, so mice are just part of life here. So I am wondering what y'all do to keep em out of your rigs? I've heard that strobe lights/noisemakers can help but I am not sure, I'd rather cut to the chase, if possible, lemme know folks cause after I pull the interior apart Again I don't want to revisit the stench.

89 MJ Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Dryer sheets. About half a box per vehicle. Small handful under each seat and some more in the trunk for your Mustang. I also throw a few under the floor mats. Keeps the mice away and keeps it smelling nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Smell nice? Maybe some may enjoy that classic grandma smell of moth balls which works as well. Happy hunting, send in the cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents live in the middle of farm country. Never had mice in vehicles with dryer sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchamakalit Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Being in the Midwest, mice aren't too big of a problem, until harvest chases them out of the fields in the fall. What has been a great success for me is to have several neighbors who don't spay or neuter their barn cats and just let them roam the countryside. Very few rodents around here. The downside is, that many cats becomes like a large population of racoons. They will be into everything and pee on it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Mark Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Thanks guys, I'll try dryer sheets first, then will go nuclear, lol I do have an exterminator that comes around we have bait that seems to work ok, but clearly not well enough. I will let you know how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
