NHAngler Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I take the ends of old socks and put a fistful of moth balls in them then put them strategically all over my boat in all accessible compartments. I also throw a handful of loose ones under my boat as well. The bucket also works great and highly recommend it for getting rid of them from sheds and barns.

Fly Time Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I too use the mothballs. I use the small plastic coffee containers, Foldgers, drill a bunch of holes in them, in go the mothballs. I also tape pieces of metal screen over any hull opening, drain plug hole, livewell drains. Keeps them out, water can pass through. Worked so far. FLY TIME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkdust Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Mothballs work and are cheap. We use them at camp. (*member formerly known as 'Fairplay') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardyG Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 A bastage mouse once chewed the bleep out of the wiring inside my outboard cowling. Next year just before putting the boat away, I put poison blocks inside the cowling, storage compartments etc. Found some dead mice in the spring but no nests or damage. Mice can and will get anywhere regardless of how hard you try to keep them out. Just imagine how happy you would be if you lost everything you have in life and then suddenly got it back SOL Member #101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife would make it a inside cat though . How long does it take to get the moth ball smell out of the boat being a Cuddy Cab ? I rode in my buddies truck that he put moth balls in a year ago and you could smell them Top Drawer Sport fishing " We Put Everything Into It " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this trap is diabolical but it works. We smear lightly with peanut butter to get them up the ramp and on the pole. . You can also use metal coat hangers with a simple block od thin wood smeared with p b. it will spin just like the alum tube in the tape. You’re not some crazy uncle you know! I'm so glad I don't live in the fact-less bizarro world you live in...just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
