2008 5600 and we've had mice get in and wreak havoc. Smell, chewed up stuff and much frustration. Anyone else have this problem? Any idea how to resolve?

We deal with the same thing. You can't keep them out. I find it helps to stick a poison bait box somewhere in Toolcat. They don't live long enough to cause too much damage.

I have put mothballs in a tin cans with plastic lids in antique cars I have had. I cut a small hole in the plastic lid and let the smell out a little at a time. Seems to work but tend to have the lingering mothball smell.

My best solution is to save all my peanut butter jars. Leave the residual peanut butter in the jar. Add lots of mouse poison to the jar. Screw on lid and roll/shake well. The poison sticks to the peanut butter. Remove the lid and the mice devour the poison. I will place 3-4 jars in my large shed at a time. Really eradicates my mouse problems. Also works in the house. Can also just add peanut butter to paper plates and add poison. This works much better than just leaving poison packs out for them.

Not to make light of your extremely frustrating loss, but this works.

I'll stick by my solution- periodically replaced "Bounce" dryer sheets have kept the mice out of my tractor's engine bay since I began using them last winter.

New cats have captured 2 mice so far, but they're not yet sure what to do with them!:D

I have also heard of using Bounce dryer sheets to keep mice away. Never tried it but smells a lot better than moth balls.
