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.

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...

My poor putty cats....
.....cats are effective to some extent but have limitations.....
They tend to mark their territory like CMPs...... not noticeable at -40 degrees but come Spring and warm sunshine....phew. We had a really bad smell coming from my 3 level big red tool box on wheels a few months ago..... narrowed it down to the bottom drawer where I store delicate things like air oilers/dryer, pressure gauges, paint gun filters and my 3M paint mask. Well I found a nest of small mice..... who had obviously been abandonned after mother became a meal to the cats..... they had turned to jelly and maggots...... and they had nested in the inside cup of my mask...... yeck!! So I bought a new one......geez!!! Boob

Mice-b-gone.....
Jon:
At the risk of hijacking this thread back to your question, try cayenne pepper. Sprinkle copious quantities around. The little bastards will stay away. Works for deer, squirrels, kids..... Cheers Don

Yuuuuuuck!!!!
Quote:
John, a lot of the mouse & rat baits on the market contain Warfarin which thins the blood to an extent that the animal goes into Cardiac arrest and suffers from death (dreadful way to die, death). The down side is their body temp drops and they seek out warm places to die, then of course, decompose. So when you nail em you'll end up finding them behind the beer fridge near that nice warm motor for example. So the simple answer is to, as Rich suggested, aquire one of our brown snakes and watch him go!! (from a safe distance....)
