Don't trap the weasels around your bait shed.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have never had a problem with mice. I build a box around my tundra for summer storage.

Mice have never been a problem, but i have seen a squirrel do $1000 worth of damage over one summer.

Lots of cute answers above, but the practical method is to get some mothballs. (Yes you can still buy them....)

Put a couple bags of them in strategic places along the seat and under the cowling.

You could park it out of reach of the mice.

That's one way of keeping the bears from eating your seats!


Made it almost 3 years without censor!

A few good answers so far, thanks. Mothballs are an idea.
I'm thinking dryer sheets might work year round too.

This works for a lot of things: Tried to post a pic but it wouldn't so here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/Fresh-Cab-Botanical-Rodent-Repellent/dp/B00L236OMW
You can get cheaper at Tractor Supply or Runnings if you have one.

It probably wouldn't take too many mothballs to be effective
