I have a 52 Chev PU that I store on my barn for the winter. I am having a problem with mice nesting in the truck over the winter and they make an unbeliveable mess. How can I keep them out without using poison bait traps? I don't want to use bait poison because I have other animals that could get into the bait or eat the rodents.

Thanks
Al

Previously used moth balls scattered here and there in the interior of my wife's '56 2-dr. post. It does require airing in the spring but was effective.

I use bouny dryer sheets on the inside and moth balls spread out under neath, my friend has been using the dryer sheets for years inside his camper with great success, so I thought I'd try it and he was right,

Get barn cats, mice will soon be history and the cats are fun to have around.

I saw on one of those auto restore channels some time ago that of all things "Irish Spring" works great to keep the critters out Anyone ever heard of that?

Dryer sheets keep the mice out of my camper. They really do work.

I've heard of using bars of Irish Spring. Makes the car/truck smell good too. I'm trying it this winter in some of my cars.

Dryer sheets work but, they seem to last about 4-5 months. Great for winter but long term I replace them 2 times a year.
