Default Mouse Control!

I got my car back from the paint shop and noticed that I had "guests" living in it. It stays in my garage most days. So far I am 2 for 2 with loaded traps placed in the floor over paper. If I got two mice - this in my garage with 2 cats! - do you think there could be more? It has been several days since and no more trapped mice. When do mice have their young? I want to be sure that I don't invite disaster by having mice chew up my wiring etc...

Thanks!

I've never had them chew on wiring, but boy do they make a mess out of seat foam!

A good way to deter (Note: not eliminate, just deter) them from staying in your vehicle is to get a box of mothballs and keep it in the car. You may not even have to open the box, because the smell from that stuff is pretty pervasive and will seep out on its own.

Mice definately do not like the smell of that stuff and I haven't seen much activity since I started using it.

Cheers,

Tony
