Thanks for all the input.

I've tried a lot of them to include Fresh Cab and Oil of Peppermint with limited success. Some seem effective for awhile then those little critters seem to get use to e.g. Fresh Cab etc.

Haven't tried drier sheets. I'll have to try that in addition to traps, bait etc.

How many sheets per tractor?

Thanks again,

ike

I've had "luck" with mothballs. Women gives me a couple old nylons, then I put about five mothballs in, tie a knot, then knot the end and repeat...
Put them in and around the dash, and engines, it seems to help.
Another thing that works good iS traps as mentioned, but I super glue a kernel of corn to the bait pad, then they have to work it to remove. But they never get it, well they get it. DEAD.
OR, Drill holes at the top of a bucket, on 2 opposite sides.
Drill holes in the middle of each flat side of a soda can.
Insert a dowel or wire through the bucket holes and the soda can holes, to end up with a unit that looks like the image.
Bait with peanut butter and add a ramp for the mice to get up.
Here's a pic off the web. This other one looks like it would work pretty good as well. Little bait in the center= dead mice...

Thanks for the pictures. Looks like either method should work.

Thanks,
