Can I ask what fix you're talking about? I've had my Maverick now for a little over a year and I haven't noticed any issues or any mice thank God as far as that goes could you all elaborate a little bit so that I can get ahead of this potential issue I would appreciate it thank you
There was a long thread sometime back where mice were chowing down on (supposedly) soy based wire insulation.
When we moved back into our house after tenants that belonged in a sty, not even a stable, we noticed a garage mouse. So I set traps and c aught it.
A couple of days later, my wife asked when I was going to do something about it. When I explained the I had, she told me that it had run over her foot that morning!
So I started putting out eight traps around the garage, and caught a couple eery morning! by the time I ran out of mice, the count was past 50.
anyway, the answer to your question is "peanut butter". I'd stick an M&M or two and a bit of lettuce into the peanut butter.
Nothing works like peanut butter to get a mouse's attention! [pest control companies can't use it, due to allergies.]
I have trapped enough mice now to make my wife a full length fur coat. About the only thing to do is keep traps inside your truck with peanut butter balls on the spring. Plus my cat is lazy and does not get any mice. I put the traps under the passenger seat and have scored hits all the time.
Hardware cloth onto the rear cabin vent was the thread.
Where do you live? I’ve had myMAV since Nov. 2021. No critter problems. I’ve been in Oklahoma And Colorado.Right - totally forgot that. I know I definitely fastened the fake snake to the top of the 12v battery in the ecoboost (nice flat surface) but I can't recall where i must have done that with the hybrid under the hood. At any rate, it seems to have kept the little bastards away, so far. When they nested under the hood of our Subaru, they chewed the wiring harness and shorted out the computer. $$$
Mother dear had a rubber snake in the tree with the bird feeder to scare off the squirrels. She found that she had to move it about every third day or the squirrels would think it was dead! I always wondered if it had a solar powered tail wrigglers if that would have worked?
Time for a barking, walking robot wolf,?
Patent that idea. You'll make a million.
Uhhh! I put a shadow cutout of big foot in my yard. Took me 3 months to not jump when I noticed him in my peripheral vision. Hate to think if he moved or walked around. I do have some racer snakes that use an old fox den about 80 feet from house. I put a circular fence around it and put some chicken eggs within fence around breeding season. Went out this year with a couple eggs and found a pair mating. I stopped and didn't move to watch. They looked at me but continued about 9 feet away. One initially started to leave and the other (male?) followed side by side about 3" distant the whole length with his wiggles perfectly in line with hers. Then they joined up! They keep mice away from house as well as rattlesnakes (racers eat other snakes and are really fast).
Good patent possibility there!
