What? Oh!

I have found that the ''Cheese Pedal'' model trap works best. Smoosh the PB
down into the holes , so the mouse has to work some to get it . And set to
a 'hair trigger'.


I have victor type traps, the only thing that looks different is the
pedel has a v notch instead of a rolled up in like the one you showed.

Not a problem anymore, Got him last night on the dock. Used left over
Christmas peanut butter fudge and he got his head crushed in the trap.
He was a big sucker about 11 inches long overall. I'm still going to
keep setting the traps for a few more nights to make sure he had no
friends around.

Mice made nests in, and chewed my folded sails, stored in the barn.

Did ya get em?


My boat is always the poorest looking one on the dock, therefore the last
target to thieves.


We have a system that is fool proof since we live aboard. You can
buy wireless moation detectors at wally world. No one can walk on our
pier without us knowing. No way to get at it a disarm it without
setting it off.

Damn it! A mouse has invaded my wheelhouse. Last night I found a
potato that a mouse had half eaten. I set the traps with chuncky
peanut butter and the little sucker ate it without setting the traps
off. I heard him scampering across the decks the other night but
thought it was a bird. Tonight I will use sharp chedder cheese in the
rat traps and hope I get em.

Nothing worse than a rat jumping on-board.

Ill take the trash to the dumpster, arm all traps,load the 22 rifle
with a scope and rat shot, put out posion and listen for that pitter
patter of little feet on the deck.

What do you do to prevent rats from boarding?

What do you do at anchor to prevent boarders from killing you and
taking your boat?
