Jim, just pay someone to sit in the garage with a .22 rifle and shoot them upon sight...

LOL

Outer buildings-good cars store in Car Capsules. Fresh DeCon out every fall to protect the drivers. IMO...Mice seem to hate the sound frequency of the fan motor in the capsule.

Garage on the house I keep baited traps I will catch one or two in the fall and through the winter.

This guy has some incredibly inventive traps, some are pretty gory so didn't want to post those.

Good luck

Paul

This is the stuff I have been using the last several years. https://www.earthkind.com/fresh-cab/

I rotate the new packages each year to the cars and the old ones to my trailer and shop. I haven't seen any mouse poop in a car yet. Problem with using poison is you might not see the end result but you may smell it...

When Ann's COPO was parked in the garage we put it up on stands and used dryer sheets and moth balls in and around the car. We also have a 'barn' cat that was sometimes allowed in the garage (which by the way was anything but tightly sealed). Needless to say I seriously doubt any of those items even remotely slowed the mice down and we still found many signs of them being in and on the car. The poison and bucket of anti-freeze work very good. The only true way is to put the car in the capsule.

Post mouse trap..

I believe ALSS had some experience with this method.
I posted that info...it's an "Adirondack Mouse Trap"...we use them in all the camps.

Simple setup; 5 gallon plastic pail with antifreeze [maybe 1/2 gallon]...use a wire coat hanger with a soda can on it so it spins...coat with peanut butter....and position a board [kind of a death ramp] so the mice can walk up. They get on the soda can to eat the peanut butter...the can spins and they fall in the pail. Works every time...antifreeze will decompose the victims and there is no smell.

Just be careful if you have pets...dogs like to lick antifreeze... it is deadly.

In a pinch, I've used kerosene...same results.

We also use car jackets, dryer sheets and the de-humidity bags.

Happy hunting/

Plain water works just as well but obviously not in a cold winter climate. I have used this method in our basement at times with great results. However, it really doesn't work to well when it freezes. On a side note, a mouse will likely have great difficulty climbing out of a 5 gal bucket even with no liquid at all and that is the safest for your pets in case they are exposed to the bucket. Also, this way the people who are against the 'unethical treatment of animals', i.e. rats, may dispose of them by simply transplanting them across town......
