Default Vintage vehicle winter storage

Looking for some shared advice with the above, especially WRT mice.

I've been fairly lucky with storing MVs and laying out small pots of mothballs.

Has anyone had luck, good or bad, with:

-mothballs (sorta answered my own question)

-rodenticide which rots a mouse from the inside out

-Bounce fabric softener

-or other?

By using, say, a rodenticide and Bounce or motherballs, would one negate the other?

Default Bounce sheets

Jon,
My dad put bounce sheets in his motorhome for winter storage and come spring,we checked inside and they crapped right on the bounce sheets so I wouldn't recommend the sheets for anything more than a fresh smell!Mind you these Manitoba mice are hardy vermon and don't scare easy.
Derk.

Over here we use Brown snakes to keep the mice down.

Around here, farm machinery dealerships sell a bag of stuff that you put in the cab and the little critters stay away but I can't remember the product's name. Whatever you put in the cab, make sure you use rodenticide in the building or surrounding area too.

Default Pest Control - Hammond Style

We have a sure-fire mouse control system that we use at the barn. Bob's herd of "outdoor" cats help to keep the pests from overwhelming us. Mind you, the natural "by-products" of the cat patrol can be somewhat off-putting...
