[QUOTE="Danbury Doug, post: 522282, member: 340"] Wasn't sure whether the technical section is the better place to post this or not. Feel free to move as appropriate. I have three cars in a dry modern shed, my bay being one of them. :D Downside is that my cars have had rodent damage. :evil: Under their bonnets the sound deadening material has been chomped, along with I guess some wiring too, as both vehicles have suddenly developed electrical faults. So far my bus seems to have escaped, but I fear not for much longer! There is plenty of bait down, but does anyone know of ways of deterring them please? I think there have been both mice and rats getting in. There's not as much on the subject online as I thought there would be. I've seen mothballs mentioned, but I think that's the old fashioned smelly ones, as opposed to today's eco-friendly ones. Also peppermint oil has been mentioned. Any other ideas please, that people have successfully used? Cats are not an option, unfortunately! Thanks in advance for any helpful advice! Doug [/QUOTE]
