The water will actually keep them from jumping out as their feet won't have the bottom to leverage from and the water will add extra weight to them as well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Glad you got some of the culprits... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So you are releasing the mice at the church in hopes they will find there way to heaven? I would immediately assist them on their journey by feeding my snake or using a heavy boot. You are too softhearted, why make the vermin someone else's problem?

I read somewhere that a guy stuffed mothballs under his hood in an attempt at keeping mice out. Or maybe that was moths...?


That was me (my T sat for months when I lived in AZ.. no grass in sight, snakes, ferrel cats and other varmints galore)... it actually worked. Though the smell was a tiny bit strong as we dumpped whole boxes into the truck, and they 'melted' quickly in the heat... but I had zero mice issues for the remaining 8~10 months of sitting.


Cheers,

Roll Me Over
When I put my white x-cab in storage for 2 years, I used some Bounce fabric softener sheets near the areas I was worried about... no mice. No idea where I heard about that, though.
