Mouse nest

[EMS503]

I have a mouse that keeps building a nest in my tractor by the fuel tank.
I keep removing it and it comes right back. Any ideas on how to keep this mouse out before it chews up my wiring?

Hmmm...how about a mouse trap ?

Try mothballs.

Leave a cat in there?

I can't remember where I saw it here on TBN, but someone suggested a dryer sheet. I took a couple sheets of them and folded it up a little and put it in side my engine compartment and left it there. I do have mice issues but not in the garage where kubota is. There is a shed nearby that get mice every once awhile. I am not sure if dryer sheet really works, but a couple sheet doesn't really cost anything so it wont hurt to try it. So far no problems but I believe a ounce of prevention is a pound of cure.

If nothing else, it will keep your engine compartment silky smooth and static free.

Insist the Mouse take out a building permit and levy substantial fines if he's out of compliance!

Try sprinkling some cayenne pepper around the problem area. I've heard that it's rough on their little noses. It smells better than moth balls. With any luck Mickey will move on in his search for a winter home.

We had one build a nest in the same spot and had enough wires chewed on my truck that it would not start, we now have 18 cats, problem seems solved. Another plus is that extension cords now last.
