IN REGARD TO MICE AND SHEDS

I would suggest strongly that you buy at Agway a ten-pack of decon or whatever else they sell, because the mice not only nest in your snowblower/lawnmowers, around the weed wackers, they also eat the GD wires when food becomes scrace or they are lazy. Cost me several hndred dollars to get tractor rewired (which included lifting engine out) one spring, because the little turds had thier way with it during the winter. Allready put three bags out there. Have seven more to go. Also red squirrels eat wiring too. Use large mouse trap for them with peanut butter, bird seed mixture to get them to eat from the trap.

I put mothball UNDER my shed when I built it no mice or anything after 4 years.

Take Moth Balls and put in Nylon stocking and hang about every foot around the bottom of shed.
This got rid of mice, moles and a ground hog!
