Bloody mice have been eating the seat in the cab. We sent the ferrets in.

Anybody know if you can get naphthalene moth balls from abroad sent to UK?

I had them in the sprayer cab this winter, gone up a wiring hole that I hadn’t sealed back up well enough, so of course they have gone straight into the wiring box, only luck avoided a right ball ache, peanut butter on a snap trap, 3 mice later, problem solved!

I assume you want the moth balls to give off a powerful smell to deter the mice?

For our TX, I went to Halfords and got a handful of the strongest smelling air fresheners and used them, one hanging from the radio controls above your head and another one or two in the wiring compartment to the right of the seat. If your shed is good then also opening the fuse compartment above the wheel will remove any trapped moisture and as its open its not so attractive to mice.

Hope it helps.

Best snap trap please? Peanut butter best bait then?
