      It's been getting colder at night, and the mice must be attracted to the warmth of the lawn mower's motor. I took it out to mow the lawn this week and four mice scrambled out from under the hood! I do NOT want them making a nest in there and possibly chewing through wires, how do I keep them out of my lawn mower??

        We have the same problem.

        Here are some ideas;

        1. keep in in the brightest spot in the garage, like near the window
        2. traps and poison
        3. keep it as clean as possible so they don't have bedding material and food

            easiest, cheapest, most humane, lay down dryer sheets mice hate to walk on it and will avoid it as much as possible.

              In addition, it is never a good idea to use poison since other animals eat mice they will die all the up the food chain, for example Owls.

              Please done use poison there are always other ways to take care of a pest.
