Mice under dryer floor

[Power Harrow Pilot]

We have had a mouse plague under a wooden dryer floor this year. We think we have got most of the little darlings, any top tips how to stop this happening?? We always nail some blocks in the end opening before filling the shed. We often have wheat in shed till June.

Make a false shutter with hole in, place trap just through hole. Got loads that way.
Or a glue pad on same location.


My dad says place razor blade at bottom of said hole. Mouse pops head out, looks left, looks right, slashing its own throat. Another of his crazy ideas

We sealed floor hatches with silicon, anything that prevents grain leaking under the floor helps

I had a big problem under mine. When blowing out the ends I was collection loads of stones where they were digging out the concrete joins.The shed would also be running with mice that had been blown out. I started putting a scoop of mouse poison, under each floor end once cleaned. I have not seen a mouse since.

Best way we found was to alternate glue boards, traps, then poison for about a month each. They will soon get used to one method used for a long time.

I normally store wheat till June,I've found you need to be fanatical about getting all traces of old crop out of your store,l will leave the end doors off the floor dryer open, I'll go in tunnel with fan running and blow all grain/dirt out the ends,(2 man job elf/safety)and bait every day till they stop taking it,also alternate the bait poison.
Clean up any old bait,before using store

Joints in the concrete make great mouse highways once they have dug the compound out.
Rip it out and grout, will stop much of your probelms

Sticky pads are the best. We took out 250 mice overnight a few years ago by putting these down where they run. Now we clean the sheds down thoroughly with an industrial cleaner ensuring there’s no food to eat.

If you are going to use glue boards make sure they are only accessible to mice and check them constantly as they are evil.

Mouse slashes it's own throat.....love it. Sorry about the pathetic emoji, the laugh out loud one has disappeared.

Been using them for years and they are by far the best solution. They become immune to poison which then can be passed into other wildlife such as foxes.

This only works if you bait it first. You need to put a piece of cheese through the hole for a week.
Mouse looks through every day and eats the cheese.
On the seventh day you stop putting cheese , the mouse comes pokes his head through hole and looks right and left, muttering “wheres my cheese” , and slashes his throat.

Where do you get these sticky pads from, I’ve never seen them anywhere?

 

[yellow belly]

the best mouse trap is the trap door type into anti freeze mix set all the time

please check them regularly i've found robins and sparrows stuck dead to boards in some stores I've visited, rotted away so not just an overnight issue.
