So I've had a mouse problem in the T/A. There are droppings all over when I take it out on the weekends so finally I bought some traps from Home Depot. The traps are like little igloos. I set them last night with some peanut butter bait, one in the hatch and one in the passenger floor.

This morning I go to look at the traps and I see one of the them reset itself to the off position. As I reset the trap, a mouse leisurely walks out of the trap, looks around and the disappears into the speaker panel. God damnit :picard: The trap clearly says "KILLS MICE" Apparently not.

Sticky traps w/peanut butter, placed on top of cardboard. :bigthumb: Keeps the traps off the carpet and the mouse wont walk away.

If that trap DOES kill the mouse... now he's gonna die somewhere in your car...

AWESOME! :roflpicard:

Bounce dryer sheets spead out on the floors and seats is suppose to keep mice away.
Also Peppermint oil, not the kind used in candy, will send them on their way. You can buy the peppermint oil at a health food store. Put the peppermint oil on rags or cotton balls and then just place them where you want them. No harm to anyone and the mice don't like them. (and the interior will smell like peppermint)

If the car is in a garage, put peanut butter on a foam plate then put a ring of Dave's Insanity Sauce (available at Dominick's) on the edge of the plate. It gets onto their paws then into the mouth and eyes. Some mice will die and some will run screaming and blind from the garage. Friend uses this method in his basement every fall with great success. Caution: Some mice will scream in agony for many minutes so some folks do not condone this method.

Some mice can get out of traps. Had a glue trap on an apartment once. Woke up in the morning and found one with a trail of hair thru it. The mouse was able to get out by pulling himself thru and leaving his hair. We did catch him the hext night as he had no hair on his belly and got stuck.

:bowrofl: He was probably glad to have a snack and a cozy igloo to nap in.
