Does any one have any good remedy for keeping wasps away and preventing them from building nests in the wiring harness, on the radiator, and in every little nook and crannie they can find on my tractor? Since it dosen't get used a lot, my tractor gets targeted by these pests. Also a way to keep the mud daubers away and how to mouse proof machinery that sits for long periods of time?? I'm tired of chiseling mud off of everything....Thanks!

You might try spraying it with "RAID, Ant and Roach killer" (I am not talking about wasp spray... ANT & ROACH!) just before you store it! The A&R Killer has a residual chemical that kills all sorts of insects for almost 3 months! I have been spraying A&R killer around the inside of my attic windows (and attic doors) each spring and I find dead wasps and hornets all summer (also every other variety of dead insects too)! I don't have the annual wasp invasions anymore.

BTW..... please be careful around painted materials! Some enamal paints may be affected by the chemicals in the A&R killer! Could cause bubbling or discoloring.

I use WD40 on most of that type of stuff. Petroleum based kepts them away.

To keep rodents from destroying wiring and upholstery, punch holes in a jar lid and place moth balls in the jar. Set it under the hood or inside the cab, etc. "It works!"
