    In my decades long experience dealing with furry creatures building nests everywhere, eating into everything, etc., etc., I started using Fresh Cab 4 or so years ago when I saw a display at the local John Deere dealership.
    I liked the fact it's environmentally safe, convenient, has a faint, pleasant, piney order and it works for me. Since I started using it in the garage and house I've never had a mouse, chipmunk or similar critter inside.

    I heard something about bubble gum. They eat it until full & can't digest it fast enough & die from starvation. I don't know if it works. Anyone else hear of this??

    Also anyone use moth crystals instead of balls?

    I tried that on my front porch, and it does NOT affect Jehovah's Witnesses, or encyclopedia salesman.

    I've never heard of that but I just had an awful cringe thinking about that much bubblegum in my own gut. I guess there are worse ways to die, but that one seems pretty far up there on the list.

    Default My Spyder sits in my barn-----

    My 2015 RT-Limited sits in our barn, covered with a 1/2 travel cover, hooked up to a battery tender and we place TOMCAT Bait stations throughout the barn and keep them filled. (knock on wood) never had an issue with mice, we have seen them but they end up dead somewhere. Lord knows our cat doesn't do her job very well. Grrrrr!

    Default Dryer Sheets

I have heard moth balls on the ground around the bike, in rags or stockings "ON" the bike and under the seat, rat poison and also to the extent of not covering your bike so to not make it a dark and inviting place for critters (some have said to use just a queen or king fitted sheet over bike). Someone mentioned a product called Fresh Cab which comes in a 4-pack and works as well.Just confused what to do here..any suggestions are appreciated.
    Use a box of dryer sheets. Stuff them everywhere ... inside the frunk, in the front under the frunk, wedge them between the body panels, place them under the seat, stuff them into the exhaust pipes, and before covering with a soft cover, scatter the remaining sheets all over the bike. Mice HATE dryer sheets!

    I was told this many years ago, but I have had mice poo right on them. I made the switch to Fresh Cab about 5 years ago and have never looked back.

    Sounds like the cat is well fed! Has to be hungry to do good job. Lean and mean= no mice, but remove poison as cat eats mouse and poison, no more cat..

    Default Another vote for Fresh Cab

    Here's another vote for "Fresh Cab". I would have spoken up sooner, but I actually did not know what the stuff is we use in our motorhome. So I asked my wife and she told me it was Fresh Cab. It works great in there.

    We have ALWAYS been bothered by mice in the motorhome. Tried everything! Dryer sheets were absolutely useless. Mothballs didn't work either. Even poison didn't work - they never ate the stuff. It got to the point where we just began to accept them, and just tried not worry about them. They used to come out in the evening and sit on the top of the sofa and watch TV with us. We gave them names.

    After a while we ran out of names, and got tired of thinking up new ones. We also got very tired of the fact that there was no way to toilet train the critters. So my wife got on Amazon.com and started reading reviews for mouse repellants. Fresh Cab won out, and that's what she ordered. Never have seen another mouse in the motorhome since then, and the stuff actually smells good to us humans.

    And... it's much more humane than starving the little critters to death by clogging up their little guts with bubblegum.
