mice/rats in boat storage

[2whlin]

What do you do to keep the little boogers out of your boat?

I have heard that dryer sheets will do the trick.

I have heard that dryer sheets will do the trick.

I've heard that just gives you soft, fluffy, spring-fresh smelling mice without that annoying static cling.

Seriously - 2whlin - what kind of storage are you talking about? Marina? Home? Rented storage unit?

a rented storage facility

I would think you could put some traps/bait inside your unit, and try to make sure that you don't have food and crumbs left in your boat to attract them. That probably doesn't give you any great new ideas - hopefully others will have more suggestions.

X2 on bounce dryer sheets. I have recommended this for customers that have a rodent problems eating wiring harnesses in cars. A sheet or two under the hood works to keep the varmits out!!!

Also works to keep one in your back pocket to keep mosquitos away when im fly-fishing too!!!!

mice and such

I use peppermint oil. Seems to work well. Doesn't evaporate.

i never thought about dryer sheets.... but i know if you just throw some moth balls around the trailer on the floor underneath and everything... put a good coat if it down they won't step foot near the trailer. Also you might want to think about laying out some bags of rat/mice poison.
