Guess what this is:



Went out in the garage this morning, yes, they are attacking, little mice feet scrapes on the wheel.



And yes, sorry guys, the wheels need cleaning, but hey it's a daily driver, and no time to wash the car frequently. I should get the hollow spoke Turbo twists, the mice probably would avoid those. What do you think, should I try this: "Hey honey, I really need the hollow spokes because then the mice will go away". Think this line will work?

I've used scented dryer sheets for 10+ years and have never had a mouse issue.

Better get them quick! They don't waste any time chewing on what ever they can sink their teeth into.

I have a cat that lives in the garage. She's really fat! Wonder why... Never had a rodent issue yet so all good.

All I can say is not to bother with mouse/rat poison pellets in the garage. My experience is that they just tend to gather it and store it. When changing the battery in my Road King last summer, I found they'd stored all the poison pellets for later consumption in my battery box, where it formed a solid cake. Luckily, no wire damage. Mechanical traps are all I use now.
