I like squirrels, they are fun even if they are a pest around here. My palm trees in the front put out a fruit they love and they come from way across the street climb the palm tree, grab a mouthful and run back. They see me smoking out there and they freeze until they realize I'm no danger.

Mice are a constant threat to my barn, shed and camper. My weapons:
- Two barn cats. - Live traps - Traditional snap traps The best weapon I've found are live traps. In the Summer, I might kill up to 1 mouse a day. Mice are smart. Some will outsmart the snap traps and even escape the live traps. When that happens, I break out the glue traps. |

Their a bit shy of the trap to start with and if they smell human scent its a double trouble for them to stay away. No human scent and watch how much better they work. |

The most productive mouse bait I've found is black sunflower seeds (same stuff we feed the birds in the Winter). I sprinkle about a dozen seeds in a live trap and check it every couple days.

Made a half a dozen of those to put in my garage and unfortunately... my kitchen. I had stored some dry goods/foods in my garage. It attracted some field mice. I put those home made traps in the garage and kitchen, also sealed any holes the rodents could use to get in my kitchen. I only see an occasional sign of mice. When I do I just refresh the traps and in a short time I no longer see signs of them visiting any longer.

I put one out in the henhouse and the mice ate half the bait overnight.
Don't know if it was effective, yet. I really need to get rid of the squirrels, or they'll destroy the greenhouse I'm going to put up if they get inside it. It's a tarp-style greenhouse with a heavy gauge clear plastic, so it won't be rodent-proof, as they could chew right through it. |
