Hey guys, I have 3 sleds and no garage. my sleds are outstide covered, but I keep getting mice in the engine compartment. I tried moth balls. no luck, Ive set mouse traps and have gotten many mice but they keep coming back. Does anyone have anything thats worked for them...?

Hey Sporty440,

The best thing that you can do is just to let me come and get your sleds, take them over to my place (I have 7 cats, indoor storage etc...)

I mean, there is no rocket science here!

Just let me know when I can pick them up.

Sporty, Try sprinkling some HOT Pepper like cayenne, or even hotter. If they get it on their feet and try to lick it off it should burn and maybe keep them out of the sled. Or maybe mix a little with some peanut butter and give them a gut ach. Just a idea.

This sounds weird but "bounce" dryer sheets actually work. I have them in certain places in my garage and no mice. I heard they work but was not sure but gave it a try and they do. May work for you too??

don't forget to shove some steel wool in the tailpipe and air breather inlet. It's tough to get a mouse nest out of a muffler.

I've also heard about using dryer sheets and yes they do work.

I concur on the dryer sheets, but moth balls are useless. The sled (76 400)I fixed last year had nests in the air box and muffler. Didn't find the muffler nest till I fired it up and had fuzz flying all over! I redid the screen over the intake hose with hardware cloth, only this time made a 'can' rather than a loop so the mouse can't just eat through the foam.
