Rat bait in bait boxes. Check them weekly and refill them as needed. A large population of rats will devour a bucket of bait, but you will start seeing results within a couple of days.

If you don't have your own dog, just use a bunch of poison. This stuff isn't hard.

No quarter. cats, poison, bucket traps whatever it takes. That spray foam with the repellent has worked well for my shop to keep them out. Snakes? Get some of those too.

Just one bite poison. It takes 4 days to kill after they eat. Best stuff I've ever used.
Be advised, it does kill downstream, so make sure to get rid of the dead bodies. I haven't had a possum, coon, or fox near the chicken coop for years because they ate the dead/dying mice and rats, so that was a win as well. |

Go to a poultry supplier and get poison. Around here they come in small packets in a 5 gallon bucket. Just start tossing the packets (no need to open them) all over. If you have hundreds, you'll have hundreds of dead ones.

Use bait. I don't remember what I use, but the mice get thirsty and leave the barn to find water, dying on the way
A boat and 2 vehicles have never been damaged in the 10 years I've been storing them there |

Quoted:
We built a new barn with a concrete floor to store the tractors, combine, and grain hauling trucks in. I've placed 6 of the 5 gallon bucket type traps in there but am still having problems. Last year was $7,000.00 for the combine and this year over $9,000.00 on the Challenger. Chewed up wires requiring full replacement. No corn or beans stored in the barn, just equipment. Thinking about getting some barn cats, but that has its own problems like getting Chewed up by the fan/belts/ etc when it's cold. Plus the neighbors dogs kill cats with extreme prejudice. What do you do, or is this a "deal with it, comes with the territory" thing? Get female cats. Problem will be solved. |

Get the black bait boxes and the five gallon buckets of bait, don't put the bait in the open or your dogs, cats or kids can get it, and for certain types of bait there is no antidote, that would be nasty. I had a problem with field mice and pack rats they ate a piece of wiring on a Range Rover, all the trouble lights were lit up, took forever to find the spot, cost a fortune. My American made cars they left the wiring alone, go figure.

Rotate your poisons. Use the ones rated for farm use. Federal law will require them to be sold through farm type stores.
Motomco makes a good poison rotation. Brand names are tomcat (bromethalin), hawk (Bromalolone), jaguar (Brodifacoum). I very well may have spelled the poisons wrong. Use the bate holder to prevent children or animals from getting ahold of the poisons. They also make a liquid poison and bait holder that works well under the tomcat name. Mice have cost me a lot in the past also. |

It sucks. I spend hours every year splicing wires in the CASE IH hell hole as I call it. My mother likes feeding the cats a little to much.
I have yet to find a solution, but I am liking the Tomcat bait traps that the mice can get in but the cats can't. How well do you clean your combines up before putting them in the shed? |
