Our cat died from eating a poisoned rodent, but I have no idea what the poison was. She came in and went into convulsions, vomited, and died.

Re: [MBZ] Shop is filling up
For the snowmobiles during the summer I put yogurt cups with mothballs on the floorboards under the tarp. Haven't had problems with mice since I started doing that. Last spring I sprayed the engine on one machine with WD-40, just hosed it all down. It smoked and stank a little when I started it a couple weeks ago but it looks perfect. Moisture buildup under the tarps makes the engine tin look like hell... -Curt From: Mitch Haley via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2014 10:31 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Shop is filling up What happens if you put poison blocks next to the tires?

Re: [MBZ] Shop is filling up
The alternative is a bazillion mice/rats... Our camp gets a good dose of decon every fall. At home I use snap traps and ultrasonic repellers. I turn the repellers off in the spring and back on in the fall when the critters are looking for a warm place.

Re: [MBZ] Shop is filling up
I got a big jumbo pack of just one bite, kills them quick. House had mice, found most or all of their holes and sealed them up and used the blocks, have not seen any signs of them in the house. Need to do the same in the shop. That other 115 I moved today had a massive nest from some sort of animal under the hood. The entire drivers side of the engine compartment was tightly packed with leaves. I cleaned all that out before attempting to start it because I did not want the cool wires on the glow plugs setting the leaves on fire. No wires were chewed but whatever was living under there did chew the entire positive battery connection off, damnedest thing I have seen. That is a big chunk of metal.

Re: [MBZ] Shop is filling up
Sounds like pack rats. I went to get some truck parts many years ago in the FLint hills of KS. It was maybe within 60 miles of Manhattan. Every truck had pack rat nests under the hood and each rat I saw run out was probably 4 to 8 lb. as big as a cat. You need a couple of rat terriers or jack russell terriers. They will get rid of the rats. Its what they were born to do. The pack of barn cats will take care of the meeses. I got a big jumbo pack of just one bite, kills them quick.
