Letting my truck sit for 6 months over winter
Is that going to kill the tires? Unfortunately I won't be about to move it periodically. Putting it up on blocks is not an option. FWIW it gets very cold where I live and the tires are M+S rated. ...

Do NOT put the bait near the truck! They call it BAIT for a reason: It ATTRACTS the mice.
Respective disagree.
Mice are going to come into ANY warm closed area for the winter that they can get into, whether there is food or not. They do NOT need food present for them to come in, they are looking to nest.
They are not coons etc that ARE attracted to food. You place poison bait because you want them dead BEFORE they start nesting and start chewing and before they do any damage.
I did NOT bait first 2 years snowbirding truck stored inside a closed storage unit. = chewed wires and mouse droppings all over the engine both times. Mice inside generator on MH damaged the gen, no food in there yet they were!
3rd year snowbirding I Baited the truck = KILLED them BEFORE they could get to my wires. No damage that year, bait had been eaten.
Sorry I will continue to put out poison bait inside the storage unit as does the storage company does outside each unit. It's to PREVENT them from getting in to nest and cause damage.
