  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I've been lucky with mice. We had stink bugs at the house though.. Wiped bounce sheets on the screens of the porch and they disappeared. Scary effective.

    Never have had good luck with dryer sheets. I laced a car with like 30 of them and they still ate and crapped all over the place.

    Will say it again.
    Vanilla scented tree air freshener.
    No sign of critters inside my H/O in the 10 years I have had it.
    Yet trapped many in my wifes Jeep parked 4 feet away.
    Smells much nicer than moth balls.

    Lavender or peppermint. Mice truly detest the peppermint or lavender scent - pick peppermint oil, cinnamon, vinegar, citronella, ammonia, bleach, mothballs. lavender or vanilla! It has to be the peppermint or lavender oil though

    I found a type of plastic construction bag that has a scent - I forget what the scent is, but the manufacturer claims that rodents don't like it. For several years I put three cars in our barn which isn't mouse-proof with a number of these bags in them. I also set about a half-dozen Victor mousetraps around the outside of the cars and headed for Florida. When I returned in the spring, all of the traps were full and there was no evidence of mice in the cars. The bags were sold under the name of MintX . If you needed larger construction=type bags they could be reused.

    I use fresh cab in my camper that sits in my driveway and at the door to my garage. Between that and my neighbors cat I’ve not had any issues last couple years.
