[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 306958, member: 412"] My non-scientific theory regarding mice. 1. Their strongest drive/pull into a vehicle, boat, camper, etc is anything that smells like food. 2. Their 2nd strongest drive/pull is smelling that other mice have been in an area (urine/feces). 3. Warmth/shelter to a far less degree. If a mouse can smell food, or that other mice have been in an area then no amount of "cover scent" is going to dissuade them. Mothballs, freshcab, dryer sheets, etc won't work if they can smell food or previous "mouse evidence". IMO, the crucial time for mouse avoidance is now through complete freeze-up. A boat with a tarp, a vehicle, a camper will all hold heat in the afternoon/eve and if the mouse detects that warm spot, that's another draw. IMO, the search for warmth MIGHT be able to be overcome by scent deterrents like dryer sheets, FreshCab, etc. [/QUOTE]
