I was told ground-up moth balls deters them . I know the pests can be very destructive on wiring . Lost 2 new wiring harnesses on my show tractor project . God bless

Irish spring soap in your truck, or moth balls.

Or buy a couple garden snakes and have them take up camp.

I almost never have any problems with mice or rats or even moles unless I park something out at the end of my field but maybe it has to do with the fact I have a lot of barn cats

We have lots of barn cats, too. They really keep the rats and mice down. They catch those big ole pack rats 'bout as big as they are, too. Good to have around.

Hey Blaine! What's your address? He is already in the box, I hope there are enough air holes, and back off when you open it, his claws are sharp.

Park in a puddle.

A cat or a Mini Schnauzer. My schnauzer will out catch a cat.

Irish Spring soap works wonders, put It all through our camper and not a mouse this year!

I throw a packet of Jaguar brand mouse food under the seat, and scattered around the sheds(up high enough to keep the dogs out of it.)

The Irish Spring soap I put in the combine cab had little tooth marks in it after awhile. Jim

Yup!!!!!!!!! I've seen some rat terriers who were excellent hunters.

Keep a rat snake in the glove box.

Irish Spring worked good the first year in my combine cab, but the mice ate the bars the second year. Cab still smelled good!

Hungry cats. We have no mice, rats, rabbits, or squirrels.

It is a real shame that we can't get the word out once and for all that mice do not like the smell of peppermint.

Scatter droplets of peppermint oil or extract throughout the vehicle and renew from time to time. Also apply to combine and tractor cabs, cars, trucks, buildings, etc.

Yes, peppermint works wonderfully.

Mothballs work pretty good for me. I put them in the grain drill & combine. Once they establish themselves in a machine a good dousing with bleach may destroy their urine trails and prevent further visits.

Pheasants, quail, ducks, robins, doves, bluebirds, ....
Small game's worst enemy, cats!

Try Yarrow plants,I picked some wild Yarrow and put in grain truck, combine, pickups, and even in grain bin doors where they were nesting, they moved on and havent been back.

I"ve been reading the latest issue of "GRIT"
magazine, and, toward the back, saw two different
ads for products to keep mice out of vehicles!
