Guest Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Funny how different things are geographically. Here in the desert things are just starting to cool down (96 degrees today) so we can start bringing our non air conditioned vintage cars out to enjoy them!

Here in Ontario, Canada we had frost last night ! We have indeed got frost on the pumpkins so to speak! I will check the antifreeze levels in all my cars today.

Guest newbymachineworks Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Have had good luck using Fresh Cab. We sell it at work, so I have a ready source.http://www.earthkind.com/products/featured-fresh-cab-rodent-repellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry W Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Have had good luck using Fresh Cab. We sell it at work, so I have a ready source. http://www.earthkind.com/products/featured-fresh-cab-rodent-repellent Along with Fresh-Cab, I also use mothballs, Irish Spring soap, and Bounce dryer sheets. I figure one of them is bound to work. I suppose I'll get started on preparation real soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 The best and least costly trap I know of is a 5 gal. bucket with water & RV antifreeze in the bottom & a plastic soda bottle on an axle laid across the top opening. Put peanut butter around the middle of the bottle and a ramp for the mouse to get to the tapered end of the bottle. The mouse will fall off the rotating bottle and drown as the trap resets itself to catch more rodents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlCapone Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Remember moth balls are toxic and you can not rid the vehicle of the obnoxious odor! Wayne Edited October 16, 2015 by AlCapone (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Last year my wife stopped mouse droppings in the cupboard. I picked up four Tom Cat bait boxes at Tractor Supply, put two in the house and two in the garage. Haven't seen mice or those cake sprinkles since. Got some new ones last week.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Walling Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Car storage? Clean out the garage to keep the snow off during the storms, install antifreeze to -25degrees, get a scarfand snow tires and let the brisk driving begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Keeping mice out of a warm garage in the winter is one thing, taking a car out of use is quite another. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Luddy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Being in Ontario Canada this time of year makes me very unhappy. Put my 72 Satelitte project away last week. Boat today and my Avanti next week. Need to make sure I get some more fresh dryer sheets and Irish Spring. Dont forget to stuff something in the tailpipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 They are predicting rain with a rapid feeze up here tonight and tomorrow night with a low of 22 and 19. Way too early. I haven't seen it that cold this early in over 20 years. Hello road salt. You know they will put it down just to practice even if they don't need it.
