Most of you know about my barn vs raccoon battles. If you remember correctly I believe it started with mice and me using the fat cat blocks. Well, opened the glove box on my latest truck and the napkins were shredded. 😡

What does a fella do? Log of death is work. All traps are actually. We gained a couple traps for the chipmunks that have taken over also. Slowly gaining ground back on them. But it is a constant battle and if I could spend a little money and have something work around the clock without the added battle of death smell...I would be game in trying that. I'm about to click order on this to try one, but I will order 3 or 4 if someone has a good review on them right now.

Mice are a constant battle in my shed. Smells of mouse piss or death. I got a bucket trap and have killed a dozen or so with it. It them bastards must really breed and are nearly impossible to eradicate. Good luck with this endeavor Dave.

Gonna be a no on the barn cat idea. My wife won't let anything sleep outside. Stupid chickens get a heater and she wants to put in AC for them.

I had them in my camper and I was recommended a product called Cab Fresh, a bean bag type thing with some product in it. Fricken mice chewed the bag!
I’ve come to realize that it is impossible to control their population. It’s like a river….never stops. The ONLY solution is to find where they are getting in and seal it up.

Barn cat is the best no question about it. They kill everything! Mice, snakes, chip monks. Mine lives in the barn also. Just needs water and a little bit of food in her bowl for bait. 😁. Get a female and have her fixed. A pet on the head how and then is all they want. Wait! I forgot you're afraid of cats! 😂
Our APL can’t keep ‘em in stock long enough. They just gave away a whole box of em yesterday.
