Every year about this time ...I have a problem with rodents(mice) in the shooting houses...or enclosed blinds...So I take mice poison out  and they eat a box or two then the problems gone.....This year they must have gotten angry for they tore up the cardboard blind...crapped every where...chewed the blaze orange "safety" flag material I hang on the sides during gun season...orange fuzz every where and got into the plastic paper garbage bag...which had old "bait" boxes and water bottles in it   chewed those all up....lol

 

Dang I'd hate to go out there in the dark to have them sitting in my office chair waiting for me... ...LOL

Wait until it dawns on them what nice nests the padding in that chair makes ... lol.

I have to laugh ...I've been waiting three 3yrs for that...They did chew part of the camo cover clothe I put over the chair.;..this is the first year they've ever retaliated ...I'm almost afraid to bait the shooting house now...but while cleaning it the other day I heard squeeking....I sleep in that blind...so they have to go!!

Seems like the NY state mice population has gone crazy. I have those sucker running over my feet in my barn. And the problem with that poison stuff is they take it and squirrel it away everywhere and I wouldn't want one of my pets even coming across one kernel of that stuff. I closed up the doors on my barn last spring and ran my tractors, 4 wheeler and riding mower in there for about 30 minutes figuring it would gas them. That didn't work either.

A long time ago, I lost an 18HP garden tractor to the little critters. They packed every cooling fin of the motor with grass, fur, and all kinds of stuff. They were clever enough to keep it where their handywork was covered by the cowling. So, I went about mowing our huge lawn in about 90 degree temperatures and pretty soon the thing was choking and sputtering and smoke started to come out from under the hood. The heat from the engine burned through a gas line and there was gas dripping all over the place. I shut it off, but it was too late. The engine seized and she was cooked. I also had an issue with hickory nuts and other crap being packed in around my ATV motor.

 

So now I have a constant supply of D-con around the barn, and I also keep a close eye on the equipment.

They are the pits in the equipment barn...making nests in the JD engines...every time I go to start one there is nest material blowing out of the mufflers and mice scurrying  away......would never set poison there and moth balls aren't working either...The blinds are elevated and they are living in the insulated flooring...I have to check them well for fear of a fire staring as I run them.....just what I don't need...a melted electrical system....

Last month had the Jeep in the shop - mouse nest in the air cleaner. I use those jaws plastic reusable traps, good traps btw, catch one or two every weekend at camp. Thinking about building one of those 5gal bucket traps.
