After reading an old thread on the 993 pages, in which someone had their pride & joy shredded when a rodent decided to nest in his engine bay, I thought it may be prudent to put some traps down in the garage.
To be fair, my car isn't left all winter but a combination of work, weather & family mean it can be left standing on the ctek for 2-3 weeks at a time.
In three weeks I have caught 3 large mice which may otherwise have decided to take up more permanent residence.
Given the damage they can do in a relatively short period of time, it is something that is worth thinking about - particularly this time of year.
(Peanut butter is the killer bait, as they can't snatch and run...)
