They eat potatoes enough to damage them so mice control in potatoe storage sheds until they make Mc french fries. L.O.L. I promise no more potatoe talk unless somebody brings it up L.O.L. I have to stand up for my states reputation as the potatoe state. If it were not for the idaho potatoe you would have some pretty sorry french fries. Nuff said O.K. ? Lets get back to truck storage.

Good call on the plastic to keep the moisture on the ground, and all the other suggestions. And yea then dang mice will be all over that "Hilton hotel" you just pulled in with.

Glue traps, and regular ol spring traps are great as long as you get to ck them every few weeks. Dead rat ='s stink.

They have a yellow block of stuff they eat and it kills them and then dries them out from the inside, ='s no stink, I think its called "Just one bite".

A few moth ***** in a bowl might help keep them out, and a few pieces of BBQ charcoal brickets (the ones with out the lighter fluid) will help with the musty smell also.

For mice, don't forget to cap off your exhaust pipes. I had a friend that when he started up his Model A after a winter's storage blew corn out the tailpipe. His muffler had been made into a mouse resort. To combat this, I simply take some tinfoil and wrap it over the ends of the pipe. Works great. This tip also works if you have any extra radiators, gas tanks, open rear axle housings, open engines, etc sitting around. Mice love small passageways. Cover or shove tinfoil into those holes.
