Mice Proofing

[sick472]

For trapping mice in general...put about 1 inch of used vegitable oil in a bucket (I used a 5 gallon model) and put that bucket somewhere that allows the mice to get to the rim...they will go in for the french fry smell, then the oil coats them, they can't jump back out, and you have'm. A bucket trap like this can catch several of them without needing to be reset. They do work best in the warmer weather because the oil is more fluid and the smell travels better.

The expired oil soaked varmits make decent fire starters in the shop stove too!
