Default Mice!!!!!

Hey guys, so Ive got my mud truck stored in the barn, went to go and fire it up the other day take it for a drive, except when i went i found traces of mice everywhere in the truck, so i got some poision (block things for the bait stations) put one in the glove box, thing was gone after 2 days and evidence of them chewin on the ones round the truck. I am going out there today since it is a mud truck i am thinking of taking the dash and heat and all that crap out of it. What do you guys think? have any of ya build custom waterproof ones so ya can pressure wash the inside or what? Or Any techniques to get these bastards out and out for good?

I put bait boxes in all 3 bays around vehicles. No problems, but you have to change them every so often. K.

I just let my dogs go roaming around. They are better mousers than the cats.

Dogs: over two dozen.
Cats: maybe four......

The fan in the basement has gotten two.......

I use Irish Spring soap. Mice hate that stuff for some reason and it smells good.

just put an exhaust fan on a timer lol.

went to one of my old mans job sites in seattle, and the elevator machine room had an exhaust fan that was on a timer or thermostat....either way it was automatic and not on constantly...

that fan got pigeons at least once a week

Bahahahaha. So bit of an update I've kept up with making sure the poison is ready and available with them and it's come to the point where I think there dead now, nothing's been moved touched or disturbed. So I'm going to continue ripping the dash out, I'm thinking of making one some how, anyone got any ideas? Like I said before I'm probly gonna rip out heater core and all that junk I don't need
