Corn for feeding the critters, you know the big tall brown ones. Anyway I fired up the BX and corn shot the exhaust out all over the floor. Well I cussed some, and let it run, I figured if there was a critter in there I was gona cook it!! Today I had to run out for a things, and hit the remote start for the truck, walked in the garage, and there must have been a quart of corn that blew out of the truck,,,, As Mr Jinx use to say,,, I hate meeses to peeses

I use a metal garbage can with a lid to store the corn, and still the little bassers stash it around the garage. How they get it I dont know.

Wait until you find the corn in your air filter boxes, in your dash, down in the blower motor and up in your fan shroud.

I worked on a pickup that had 5 lbs. of dog food stashed in the dash.

I fed mine, first inside:

(with peanut butter)

(because not all mice go for the snap traps




Then added outside food:



Then plug the holes:


After an aggressive two years war the mice are out of troops.

Well I have my bucket trap, thats frozen still, and cat looks like hes a bad azzed maine coon cat, and afraid of his own shadow, so is useless out in the garage. My wife came to me one day saying her grand am wasnt running right, and yep I found the air box filled with dog food, corn and seeds. So I put out the little green pellets and they disappeared and I found them in the air box a week later.

Yeah they love to stash things in the blower motor fan.
When I tore my Nova apart for restoration, there was a nest in the heater box and they had chewed up the plastic blower fan to where it was unusable. The metal housing was full of pinholes eaten in it by mouse pee.

Ive found this One Bite bar stuff works great for mice rats chipmunks ect. I find it at the local feed store. When I Google it shows Wallworld online has it.
If you use a bucket with a roll put antifreeze in with the water so it won't freeze.
Works great for Rats and Squirrels too. We used it on the farm for rat reduction, mice reduction and squirrel reduction.

Interesting...I'm getting chipmunks and squirrels a little too close and personal with the vehicles. How did you set this stuff out to get them?

I catch squirrels in live traps with peanut butter.
