This year was my first battle with the mice. I tried dryer sheets, I found a nest built next to them. I trapped but too slow and they were licking the traps clean. I tried glue traps, those things are a waste of time. Can't stand the smell of mothballs and don't want it in my boat.

Dcon = problem solved. At first they went through it so fast I thought maybe I had a herd in there. I even set up my underwater camera and ran a line to my laptop to record activity at the bait pile. But too late, they were already gone by then. I wasn't really sure if I wanted to see what was going on in there but curiosity got the best of me. bummer that I didn't get anything but thats a good problem.

I found one dead one, have no idea where the others went I'm pretty sure they are not in the boat unless they are underdeck somewhere. The dead one smelled a bit but nothing major and its gone now. found it in my front right storage area.

By all means, I killed 5 of them that I know about.

So the boat goes to storage soon and with it the dcon. I'm not going to mess around with anything else.

Good luck with your boat Jason.
