Winterizing with mice

[Eric R.]

hey guys, well my new r3t is ready for its first winter and I have to keep it in my garage because it ain't gonna fit thru my basement door like my Nomad did. I used to like to fiddle with the nomad in my cellar over the winter, and never had to worry about mice or anything.
The Rocket is just too big so it'll have to sleep in the garage. I have mice in there on occasion. They love to get inside my tool cabinet drawers and drop their poops.
I did buy a couple of those plug in ultrasonic things. I hope they'll help. Any other suggestions as to what I can do to keep the little critters from nesting in my bike? I am worried about what they are capable of doing.
Thanks, Eric

If it's the bars that won't let it through the door I would just take them loose, wrap them in towels, lay them on the bike, push the bike through the door and re assemble. Sounds easy don't it?

I spray verything down with lemon pledge as for some reason mice do not like lemon. To be safe I always put out some HAVOC mice poison near the garag doors and any other place I think them buggers might come in. That way you kill them before they get a chance to multiply.

Nice bait, traps and the like are your best tools for protecting against the little buggers. Of course you go conduct biological warfare against them and keep a Rat Terrier or even a cat in there.
Then again, you could keep riding it when the snow isn't on the roads... And maybe, there won't be any more snow since global warming is kicking into high gear now that the election is over...

We swear by the rat-sized glue traps. Placed at the edges of the room, the mice run over them in the dark and become trapped.

Poison can be a poor choice as it can get concentrated in the food chain, if anything eats the affected mice.

I like @mully95 's suggestion. Afterall, that's what friends are for.

Good point there but after using it on mice for years. I still have cats

Maybe I should put more out

A ring of mouse traps around each wheel and the kickstand. Check them every few days.

Put steel wool in you exhaust pipes just in case all else fails. Install bigger door!! That's what I did.
