Just back from checking on 5er in storage:(
DW and I went to check on the 5er today. Mice have invaded again. We had poison out, all gone. Also had cotton balls spread around with the peppermint oil on them. Found a nest with peppermint scented...

The use of poison baits conflicts with the use of peppermint oil and dryer sheets. The odor of the oil and sheets is to confuse and disorient the rodent olfactory senses. This creates an environment they do not wish to be in (theoretically because they constantly seek food when not mating). Bobcat urine would work great if you could find it, The smell of the urine creates a strong natural predator avoidance response in rodents. I don't think you would want to put that inside your trailer however. PEEMART The bait is designed to draw them in and do them in. Peppermint oil, used liberally, has work for us for years now (knock on wood). The poison bait is best used in your neighbors trailer.
not if poison baits are used OUTSIDE the 5er in maze type traps..., again, the dryer sheets were complete flops....peppermint oil, works for us as well cab fresh packets...
Tried to get some Bobcat urine once, but that dang cat wouldn't hold still for me, I had scratches all over me:B
