Location: Delavan, WI | I keep my boat in an unheated barn with limestone floors, its out in the country so lots of field mice around, I tried moth balls one year, stink is terrible and stayed lingering inside carpeted rod locker, and other compartments for 3 years after so i switched to dryer sheets and they absorbed some of the stink, now I always use dryer sheets and set up a few poison trap boxes too. I leave rod locker and other carpeted compartments closed , live wells stay open dont ask why but ive done it like that for years now and works for me, I also drop straps so critters dont use them to climb up to boat and leave motor trimmed up, sides of boat are smooth so they can't climb up that and I remove all seats , cushions life vests , ropes etc anything that would be cozy or could be used for nest material and never had a problem |
