Mice wintering in your boat?

Post by roughrider »

I once found a roll of paper towels chewed for nesting in a storage compartment :shock: , a box of Bounce fabric softner sheets is a cheap way to keep mice at bay. Place a sheet in each open compartment,especially the battery area if charging all winter outside,they love the heat from electrical connections. 8)

roughrider out :wink:

Strategically place mouse traps do pretty well too. :D

You think you got it bad, I found an entire litter of kittens in mine.

Cruched up bay leaves work too. And they don't leave your boat smelling like The Village People stayed in your boat all winter like bounce sheets do :shock:

Nothing wrong with using bounce sheets, they leave your boat smelling april fresh.
