Some of the old guys in our club swear by charcoal. broken pieces on the garage floor and pieces placed inside the car. Apparently the mice hate the smell of something burnt. It also hase no smell humans really notice like moth balls do.

the best thing for meeces is them sticky things with a dab of peanut butter in the middle. even without the peanut butter they work. i like the big ones ones that unfold= they're about a foot square. real cheap at the 99cent store. just check'em every couple days and when you catch a meece just toss it in the trash. did i tell you guys i even caught a possum that was stealin my boysenberries with them things? ?? he lost his lil head over them berries place i useta work at in the 90s had a chemical room with a buncha hoses connected to things and we couldn't have rodents gnawin through the lines without killin somebody so we had them things all over the floors and we useta catch snakes,scorpions,centipedes,rats, mice etc. with'em. i heard they were gonna use them at the Democrat convention but they were afraid Kennedy,Pelosi and Obama would wind up in'em ;D ;D ;D i'm sorry= couldn't resist

My husband stuffed a sticky trap into a wasp nest by our front door and trapped hundreds and hundreds of em. He seems to enjoy replacing (spending) traps and catching tons more. We have even caught what we call "red headed bast rds" chipmunks but one just left his tail behind.
A good mouse trap is a coffee can of grease (something that won't harden) put an inch of it in the bottom -- the mice get in and then can't get out (greasy feet). Actucally make it a three pound can and two inches of grease (yummy). We caught quite a few meeces that way last winter.

Man, them red squirrels are bastards too. When our daughter was new, and we weren't using the boat much, them rascals filled the engine compartment COMPLETELY jam packed FULL of pine cones. If that wasn't a job to clean out. I cleaned it out, and moved the boat to a different part of the yard. Next day I went just to check. Sumbich had it filled up to the oil pan. I cleaned out again, put it in the barn , and placed my large feline in it. Checked it the next day, three deceased red squirrels. Maybe I'll keep him in the garage with the Merc this winter.

Last year some kind of critter got in between the walls in our below ground family room. Jesus H Christmas, our terriers were constantly growling, barking and going nuts. There is a chair next to that wall and I constantly banged on the wall day and night, but nooooooooooo they stayed. I got a real good idea one day...........I got some of those stick incense, lit em and put it right by the cold air return on that wall............voile GONE GONE GONE GONE. Wish I could do that on a daily basis in the garage. But I would have to find a bong sized incense stick for that to work.
But it is a thought.
