My brother found some stuff called Grampa Gus's you put in, comes in a packet and apparently they don't like the smell. Tried it in my shed and haven't seen any in quite awhile. May have to open window when you get in never put it in anything that airtight

I watched a video on YouTube of a Farmer using a pump garden sprayer and Vodka to get rid of Mouse urine smell in a Combine Cab.He didn't say if it kept them away, just got rid of the smell.

Tried the moth ball route 2 seasons ago in the combine cab, last season no one would ride with me cause the smell was awful and got into my clothes after running all day even. This past year I went with the Downey drier sheets, worked great I think but the moth ball smell is still very present too. Something to ponder, why did Noah let them things and skeeters on the ark.

Dryer sheets make good nesting material but they sure do smell good. I have yet to find anything that works. The mice around here gain weight off of mouse poison.

We use a combination of the square mouse baits, dryer sheets, moth balls and electric ultrasonic rodent repellants in the warehouse where I store my RV and tractors. I don't know which works, but we don't have a rodent problem.

Irish spring bar soap shaved up is supposed to work. I had good luck in the camper with pouches of scented wood. I got it at fleet farm. Fresh cab or something like that?

I used Grampa Gus's in my fifth wheel, they chewed open the pouches and took the nut shells inside and hid them in under the couch cushions. I've also tried the Irish spring, you have to keep shaving it off to get the smells, yes they eat the soap, but it does weird things to them. I now use either citrinila candles(unlit) and Vasaline on paper towels or cotton balls, so far that seems to be working. oh...I also did the peppermint oil too...the smell don't last long either.

We came across a Mama Bobcat with a litter of four the night before last. If you want to gather them up and take them home I'll give you the location.

What does the Vaseline on the paper towel do to them? I've never heard that one

I'd like to see them go somewhere they were only about 3/8 mile from my house. With four little ones to feed I'm expecting some serious bloodbaths in the area. I can almost guarantee they'll no more livestock probs in your combine cab.

It's harvest season. Put a clipboard in it, with a job application and a pen. Like any modern freeloading squatter, they'll leave.
