‘‘Tis the season for rodents

If you store the car over the winter with no use, you could get a frameless bubble that would work in any space. I'm afraid any of the quick fixes just do not work and give one false hope! The bubble works with true confidence.
Just talking out of experience.

 

Not sure how much difference there are between brands but when I bought my house a few years back there were a few of these plugged into one of the garages.

Should have known then there was a problem!

Anyway, one night I was working out there and after shutting everything down, just as I was going to walk out I heard "scratch scratch" from inside the wall. (insulated and covered in thin wood paneling)

That's not good.

So I pulled a panel off the wall and an entire mouse family was living in there no more than a couple feet away from a "mouse blocker".

So again, maybe a difference between brands but the ones I had did not seem to work.

The actual problem here was they used a 2.5" hole saw to put a 3/4" electrical conduit in the garage so mice could just stroll right in.

Filled the void with steel wool and expanding foam and have not had a problem since.

 

Apparently the Ultrasonic devices won't penetrate walls. So for me, I'd need battery devices or I would need an electrician to run power in my attic. I read so many reviews on these things and honestly they seem like snake oil.

 

Some months back I saw a few mouse droppings in my garage. I set some traditional traps with peanut butter. I caught a couple of the little mice but some were so smart they could clean off the peanut butter and not release the trap. I really didn’t want to kill them. I just wanted to catch and release them in the field nearby. I then bought some sticky traps on small trays and added some cheese in the middle. These really worked. I put about 12 along the walls of our two car garage. Once you catch them, with gloves on, you scoop it up with a dust pan. Carry the little guy way away from your house. With vegetable oil in a sprayer, you spray where it’s stuck and help it release with a stick. They’re off and away.

Every time, I really cleaned the garage to see if there’s any new droppings. I also sealed the door really well. So far, they haven’t returned!

 

OMG why are we still talking about loser solutions!! The only way to win here is to get an enclosure period!!!! Nothing, Nothing else works!!! PERIOD!!!

 

Thats a loser solution. Hiding your whole car from a tiny mouse. Nothing works better than a cat !

 

We left our mountain home in NC for FL home last January. When we returned in June mice had set up a home in the trunk of my 599. My girl and I left them all their needs to make it happen. A roll of paper towels in the trunk and a bag of dog food at the other end of the garage. When I opened the trunk there was a perfect pile of dog food and a beautiful Bounty-built home. A Ritz for mice over the cold months.....lol...... Leaving the trunk cracked for the trickle charger was enough.

I agree......the inflatable bubble is probably the best solution other than having a cat. But no animals for me. The bears, raccoons, squirrels and even elk are entertaining enough.

I don't understand this website; I have commented numerous times the Holy Grail of rodent control in one's garage! It's a bubble enclosure stupid!!! Why risk any damage to your vehicle on a maybe it works, peppermint cotton balls, or tail chasing cats. At best these approaches work some of the time. The enclosure works all of the time without fail 24/7/365. There won't be surprises when one returns from a long winter! Some people you can lead to water, but they have to be willing to drink!! Over and out.
