Rodents in the trucks/equipment

Mice love parked equipment especially ones that sit a safe warm home they make rodent stuff for vehicles I've seen it at Rv stores
 
I keep lots of traps set around. Regular mouse traps, five gallon buckets with a spinning wheel that they drop into and drown, rat traps screwed to 2x4s for chipmonks. If they make it past the traps I have poision blocks out too. I prefer not to poision them in case a hawk or owl gets them after they get into the poision.
 
This is true .............; but weird.

My sister lives in rural NH, with a poured concrete basement.
Mice get into the basement (probably) thru a cellar storm doorway.
She has cats, upstairs only; so no traps or poison.

She has an isolated, EMPTY, plastic 30 gal trash can in the basement.
Mice (apparently) climb up the outside of the can, fall in, and can't get out !
I have seen this repeatedly.

This may be due to the fact that mice follow the urine trails of other mice ! ! !

Moth balls work the best, mice, rats etc can't stand the smell! Trust me we had a major mice problem at my cottage a few years back due to lack of rattle snakes, population was down, we were trapping mice by the hand full every night, and another guy said to use moth balls, never seen any since ! Use them in the trucks at the yard now also mainly in the spring, fall and winter when they are looking for new homes to keep warm.
 
I had a family of mice that chewed threw a spill kit and was living in that when I heard them in the truck I located them and threw the whole spill kit and family out. Still dealing with a few in that truck though. I Need to try the traps or moth balls
 
My partner used to have a small crane with 40' of stick. A truck he bought dirt cheap that we moved our wood with. It came with a mascot. The little bugger lived in the dash and would come out and sit on top when traveling down the road. One day he decided to jump out the vent window at 40mph.
Another mouse resided in the lift gate of the 1 ton dump. One day we removed an access panel to repair the switch. There was the nest laid all throughout the drive chain. Looked like a Saturday morning cartoon. That little sucker didn't want to leave.
 
I had one inside my engine on my built rite log splitter. When i went to start it in the fall it got shredded in the flywheel/fan assembly. There was bits of mouse shooting out for a while. Lol. I shut it off and had my gound guys mess with it.
