"Magic" Mouse Bait

Those ultrasonic repeller things are useless I imagine.
edit: Perhaps some less objectionable deterring scents?

 

some claim peppermint works, idk.

 

If you haven't already, do screen the cabin egresses and the engine air intake: it does nothing for the rest, but it helps.

 

As mentioned, this has all been covered pretty completely in the forums and despite a few people claiming success with sound and scents, the empirical evidence does not support the claims. And, I am sure Kris screened off all points possible. I also know she no longer has a Prius; opting for what she feels is a safer Subaru.

What I find interesting about this thread is the mice SEEM to have no problem with "older traps of death," although again, no solid proof one way or another, but evidence seems to point that direction.

The Prius was interesting as it was claimed (was it ever proven?) that the coating for wiring was made of some ecologically friendly soy-based formula, which attracted mice. Again, I never saw any proof of that, but the mice did manage to make a home with my cabin filter a couple of times before I screened it off.

They did get into my Camry and chewed through insulation on one wire, but it was a simple fix. But it did seem the rodents preferred the Prius.
