<VV> Critters

[MSYVairs at aol.com]

I am trying the new Ortho Home Defense MAX Mouse and Rat Control bait this  
year. Will put them in my two garages and see if anything happens. Put a  
little peanut butter in the trap and it closes when they go in to eat. Pick 
it  up and discard!
 
I also have 3 cat's that "patrol" the property on regular shifts! My  
neighbor loves it. He has a couple of big John Deere tractors and before we  
introduced the cats he was having problems with mice and/or rats eating the  
wires...no problems in 10 years now!

Don't  make the mistake I made. 
Thought putting D-Con packets on the floor of the  car would do away with 
the
mice. Well it killed them, but not before they  crawled under the dash AND
under the cardboard panel under the rear package  shelf (this was in carol's
Riviera), and died. 
The stench was  unreal!...and digging out half rotten mice bodies from 
around
wiring with  your bare hands isn't an experience I wish to repeat. FYI
Mothballs are my  current method.
I've heard Bounce dryer fabric softener sheets work  well.
