Meeces

[mondhasen]

I wrote in December that mice were nesting in my generator shed, and on the machine itself. I looked up natural deterrents and ended up buying flaked red pepper to spread around in the enclosure.

As we’re expecting some severe weather next week I went to give the generator a test run today. Heh, imagine my surprise when I opened the shed…

At least they left the machine alone, and it runs just fine.

That's a relief …

As far as natural deterrents are concerned, have you considered getting a cat?

[mondhasen]

A good thought, but a cat isn’t feasible as she’d have to be left outside among bigger predators, and feline leukemia is endemic here.

Maybe they just really like hot, spicy foods and ran out of Flamin' Hot Cheetos!

It’s almost funny that this happened… well, it is funny, and impressive :o).

Maybe the mice have an internet account and wrote about those deterrents online to throw people off... ;>

Monsters indeed!

Adolescents, even?
