    I've heard about dryer sheets, but whatever goes into them, I'm allergic to. Whenever anyone else does my laundry I'm scratching all day long. I was hoping that the mint oil thing might work...and make the car smell nice.

    I've had guys tell me they're dryer sheets got eaten...  :dunno:

     ::)  I tried the irish spring bar soap and dryer sheets. The little buggars ate the soap and crapped all over the car including on those bounce dryer sheets!  :lol:

    I like the 5 gallon bucket with 6" of antifreeze and peanut butter smeared all around the inside of the rim about 2" down. It's like crack for mice!  :grinyes:

    My buddy used the peanut butter bucket thing, worked great. But for the amount of mice he caught, seems like they just kept coming. Like more coming inside.....  :dunno:

    Overinflate the tires, fuel stabilizer added and run through to fuel bowls, fresh oil and a battery tender. If rodents are an issue I have used scrapings of Irish Spring soap bars in the engine compartment and all around and have never had mice issues where mice were around. Have used the bounce dryer sheets as well. Car smells good in the spring at least. :)
