Keeping mice out of equipment(or shop)
Its going to get cold out and that means the mice come in. Any tips on
how to keep them out of my welders in the garage? I will set traps but anything else to prevent the little PITAs out of my stuff. I made one of these: http://www.farmshow.com/issues/27/06/270605.asp This is the * BEST* mouse trap for the shop, hands down.... I use a ice fishing ladle to fish out the dead *******s. Just don't contact the + side with the ladle handle... if you do..well lets just say I would describe the sensation as a * religious experience *..... I think the feral cats eat em after dark. No posion to worry about I use a 5 gal bucket and flashing tin with some hardware cloth for the bait. My fence charger averages 13K volts........ when I first used it I averaged 6-10 per night..then it tapered off to zero. If someone could figure out a portable shocker out of scrounged parts that would be too cool.....maybe a auto coil ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

I have a Fi-Shock that I have set up to get rid of birds, cats, and dogs. I never thought of using it for mice. It would be a simple device to make, and like they say, you can use it for multiple traps. Steve |

Just sprinkle mothballs around anywhere the mice are likely to
hide/gnaw. They can't stand the smell. Bugs |
