Question: How to repel mice from my tack locker?
( Back )
Answer #1:
get a mouse trap with that sticky stuff on it it would help a lot. also a cat that would help too a dog that hunts (black lab or yellow lab or even like a hound)
hoope i helped
Answer #2:
I have had the SAME problem in my
very own tack room, and its GROSS.
Dryer sheets do work until they lose their
scent and the mice decide they make awesome bedding XD
I know it sounds awful, but you could just put
rid-x around and in your own locker, theres a certain
kind that the mice eat, then leave the area they
ate it, and go somewhere else to die (usually outside)
i've never seen a dead mouse in my tack room,
so i know they do go somewhere else.
Also, you could try the dryer sheets, but be sure
to change them when you can't smell them anymore. lol
Good luck! I hope it helps. I know its gross!
:)

Do you have an electric outlet you can use? I've found the little electronic repellents work.
Answer #4:
We have them in our feed room! I HATE IT!
I guess if you get some exotic cat poop it keeps all rodents away. Weird, I know. There is an exotics farm by us & my dad wants to get some tiger poop because we have the mice & also tons of voles. Just saying...
I would try the dryer sheets, it kills hornets so I imagine mice will avoid your locker. We put just one in our mail box & in 2 days all the hornets where dead.
Answer #5:
Well, it's actually kind of good news that they don't have any barn cats. With barn cats, you can't poison the mice because if a cat finds a dead mouse that ate poison and eats it, the cat will get poisoned too. So you can just go ahead and put some poison in there, but that won't stop them from coming in and it definitely won't curb the whole place's mouse problem since you're only putting the poison in one place.
Your best bet is to stop them from coming in. Figure out how they get into the locker then seal that entrance up with something firm. They can chew through duct tape, but try caulk to seal up any holes. If the holes are big enough you could just put a piece of wood over it to seal off the hole.
If a "stray" cat showed up, would they keep it? Just a suggestion, lol!
Answer #6:
The problem with poisoning mice/rats is poisoning wildlife. If a hawk or owl finds one and eats it, the predator will also die.
Get some of the one time use traps and throw away the trap and the mouse that is tucked away so no one has to see or handle it.
Try putting moth balls in your locker. Just pour a few into the foot of old panty hose, tie a knot and hang them around outside the locker or in it.
Answer #7:
At the store where I work we sell a product called "Fresh Cab" and it is a repellent for rodents. It looks like a little bean bag and it actually smells really good. We sell a lot of it and people always ask for it. I found a link on line that will show you what it looks like and tell you more about it. We also use it in cars and a lot of people put it in their campers too.

Answer #8:
You can borrow my trainer's dog sam... haha she'll get rid of them... lol... At this barn i was at two years ago we had the same issue... my friends and i filled a small bowl with coke before we left and the next day we walked in and there were inflated mice. i know this is gross but it worked for up. that or you can use aspirin or sticky paper. mouse traps are gross because you see blood and other stuff.
Answer #9:
As another stated, moth balls.
And, as another suggested, sealing the locker will work but it has to be s substance they wont' gnaw through. Caulk or expanding foam wont' work. IMHO, you'd need to use a metal flashing of sorts to line the holes where they're squeezing through. A mouse can squeeze through a spot smaller than a dime, so perhaps mothballs are they way to go in this case.
Good luck.

The pet food recall scared us into making our own cat food at home. We did alot of research into cat nutrition requirements and went through alot of trial and error trying out new recipes for the cats - seeing what they liked and what they didn't. We ended up with quite a few super yummy recipes. Our friends begged us to share the recipes with them and we realized there were probably lots of other cat owners out there that would love to try these cat food recipes out on their cat too! So, 123 CatFood.com came into being. It really is as easy as 1-2-3.
