I hate mice

[jeepdan 321]

I serviced my Kubota B3030 yesterday, and found this.

It wasn't running badly, but recently I had noticed more black soot accumulating on the left, front end loader arm.

 

That is pink fiberglass insulation with seeds.

What Model Wheel Horse is that ?

I keep a Rinne trap in my storage shed for this exact reason. Try to get them before they get into my equipment. They can't resist peanut butter and sunflower seeds. For winter ops, I use RV anti freeze fluid so the liquid doesn't freeze.

Yeh, sorry about that. It's orange

Anyhow, I figured that you guys would get a kick out of seeing that mess.

You can skip the lid thingy too

Just fill a bucket about 1/3 to 1/2 with water, sprinkle sunflower seeds on top. Build a ramp. The mice and chipmunks think the floating seeds are a solid surface and just jump in.

Bird seed sunflower seeds are cheaper.
