I consider it to be a full fledged war against mice. I have no problem bringing out the heavy artillery against them. I have a cheap electronic gizmo the seems to direct them away from areas of my garage. In fact, most times I put that right on the seat of my truck. Sticky traps are quite effective. I keep a bunch of them around. put them in "runs" on top of the walls, railings, etc.
When electrical wiring has been compromised by mice and your ride burns up, you may be thinking about what you didn't do to catch these varmints while your breathing your last breath.
I never had any luck with bounce dryer sheets, but many swear by them.
And as for starting up the truck every day to scare them off......well, um, that's exactly what they like. Heat! A nice cozy place to raise a family! Don't do it if you can help it.
I probably dislike cats almost as much as mice, but there's no denying a good barn cat is better than anything we can devise.:)
