Zero to 60 in 2 secs. (The continuing saga)
I've got a renewed sense of urgency now.
I went to start the car today and a NUT came flying out of the sidepipe!
You guys have offered a lot of good advice for us "hibernators" - and I want
to thank you all for responding to my first "Zero to 60" post.
However, I don't think putting a snake in the car would work, Pedro. Considering she won't even bait a hook - If she even THOUGHT she saw a snake, there'd be a change in zip codes! (Heck, if you could see her shoe print that's still on the side of my face, you'd know why they don't have wicker chairs in nudist camps!)
And my thanks to you Frank. But isn't there a law against using Anthrax? Besides, the smell of rotting mice doesn't exactly qualify as a "New car smell".
Getting a cat? Not for a guy who has a bumper sticker that says, "So many cats, So few recipes". And the dog? He's nothing more than a doorstop that drools.
Someone else (who's name will go unmentioned) swears that scattering a laxative under the car will do the trick. Yeah, right. I can see it now - little rolls of toilet paper hanging everywhere. (No thanks)
All kidding aside, these are persistant little critters that can (and do) cause great damage. If anyone knows of other methods that might work, kindly let us "hibernators" know.
Until then, I'll stick to those little "snap traps". (I hope my HMO covers me).

mouse bait -- it will drop them dead, but where will be the good question.

Man has been trying to build a better mouse trap for ages.
Truth is , ya just can't.
Old boring mouse traps work best, maybe a little poison, thats what I used when I had a mouse problem in my cellar a few years ago.
Havn't heard a peep from them since.

I would avoid the poison. The little buggers have a nasty habit of expiring in some deep dark abyss in the vette. Traps are a must. Also Irish Spring soap cut into 3rds. I put a few under the car, in the engine compartment and inside the car. Works better than mothballs. If you've ever washed with it you will know why. AND MAKE SURE NOT TO STORE PET FOOD IN THE GARAGE. Nothing will deter them if you do this. Happy Storage.
