Geoff,
My garage backs up to a couple thousand acres of forest preserve... half of
which is swamp.
I've had squirrels, raccoons, and mice in my garage. I used mothballs in the
soffit & facia, that seemed to keep the squirrels and coons on the move.
I've heard dryer sheets or bars of soap can cause the mice to move on.
I'd have to agree about the lingering smell of mothballs... not what I'd
want. I'm gonna try a bar or aromatic soap in each car this year, along with
mouse/rat poison on the floor and in the corners of the garage.
WST

Subject: Mothballs
List: I just put the Meejit to bed for the winter in a new place that
probably has mice. I put some mothballs in the Meejit, having had some
luck
keeping mice out of drawers, etc., but the fellow who owns the barn says
that
I will never get rid of the smell in the car. Anyone have an experience?
Or
another way of keeping mice out? I have already suggested to the barn owner
getting a cat....
