Mouse/mice in my boat, now what?

Did you try the bucket trick (mentioned earlier in this thread)?

I did, but its squrrils, not mice.

live trap with some sunflower seeds like you feed birds. Once they are in the cage the possibilities are endless.

Pure pepprmint oil is reputed to keep them out of boats, cars etc. Have used it past couple winters and it DOES seem to help. You can buy it on line. Be careful with it. I just sprinkle a bunch of it on small rags and toss in my boat, cars etc. at winter lay-up.

I saw something once about what a guy did to "eliminate the problem". He trained them. Used dog food, I think, got them used to eating in a spot(say the top of a 5 gallon bucket), make sure they have to jump to get up there. After a time....shouldn't take long....remove the pail lid, and have 6-8 inches of water/anti-freeze in the bucket. It worked great for him. Otherwise a live trap should also work ....a few minutes under water, cleans the trap, and whatever is in it....or a tarp over the top, while your car exhaust is going under there keeps the blood down. Good luck getting that "body-building" squirrel.
