Good luck,

I have one but I'm in a ranch with no basement so you can imagine all the crap I have in there..I can barely get My Harley in and out..Planning on move to Arizona when I retire in a couple of years and 1st order of business is to make sure I have a 2 or 3 car garage..

 

That really sucks

Well I think we all will be crossing our fingers for you that the mouse bait works!

GOOD LUCK!
