I got a similar reply to that as a suggestion for anoles; but I have no scenery.
I’m guessing if I mess with the garage’s thermostat, I can keep the cold-blodded critters out.
Speaking of sound, how about reprogramming one of your noisemaking locos to sound like a ferret?
Come to think of it, I recall seeing a note about someone who had several pet ferrets. I rather suspect that one ferret would equal zero mice in very rapid order.

Conrail you are agenius with the skewer idea…
what do you think about smoking the little monsters out with a 2-6-0’s smoke and pretty lights
running them over with a CSX SD-40 or the Amtrak amfleet or an SCL ooooorrr **the Acela ;**top speed only the Lord and the geeks at the LHS know how fast it goes
Well, guys, after reading these posts over my shoulder, my other Maine Coon cat Lowell says that he is available on a rental system to help rid your tunnels of vermin. However, since he’s about 20 pounds, he’ll have trouble fitting INTO the tunnels, and he’s very particular about his payment in Catnip (it has to come from either Malibu or Baja California), and he only works at full speed while listening to Mahler’s First Symphony.
And I hate to tell you, the last mouse he caught, he adopted!

Well it did seem to be the obvious solution.
Unless you have a model of the TGV that can go a scale 300 mph.
Interesting…
Do you think the Train in one side cage on the other is good?
Or smoking them out w/ a 2-6-0?
What’s your point? Your post says nothing. Saying “half of the people in the world have higher than average intelligence” would have been more informative.
Mark
But it wouldn’t have been accurate. There are more people with lower-than-average intelligence than there are with higher-than-average intelligence (and the lowest part of that curve is farther away from the average than the highest part of that curve is, with only very rare exception) , so more than half the people in the world have higher-than-average intelligence. It WOULD have been accurate if the statement was “half of the people in the world have higher than median intelligence.”

I too had a similar problem with a garage layout…a bird. Started noticing this bird flying in and out of the garage and found the N scale tunnel packed with pine needles and stuff. I just left it alone for a while and tried not to disturb her. The bird was not shy about being in the garage with me. The tunnel did eventually get cleaned out.

Rat’s eat cat’s
use glue, snap traps, and decon.
use a slim jim tied to the trap
Do slim Jims really work
As many times as I’ve used mine to free up a jammed lock on one of the back doors of my car, I’d have to say yes. As far as using one to push traps around, I don’t know. On the other hand, another type slim jim makes a good snack.

i use a 22 cal pistol with #12 dust bird SHOT(not # 9 SHOT ) it works wonders,my layout is in a shed by itself,also its a lot of fun and you will be doing a public service by getting rid of the dirty rodents.i created a couple of instantly dilapidated cars one time when i got carried away while there was more than one running around.ive been down to zero population for now what a bummer’ dutchman
The mouse police never sleeps
Jon
I thought your layout was HO scale! [:O]
[dinner] Does he eat those meeses, or just sit on them? [xx(]
Jon–
I’d like to know how you weathered and detailed the large cat model! [:)]
I’ve tried Cats and they made a worse mess then the rodents. I use the snap traps, sticky traps, and a live trap. Of course I first tried to find all the places that they were getting in. Steel wool or mortor mix work best. Don’t bother with foam insulation or fiberglass insulation. I still get one every now and then so repeat traps as needed. The cats left fur all over the place and I was cleaning it up for a year. When I test ran my new 2-10-2 I had to stop it and pick the fur out of the valve gear with a tweezers.
ROFL Sounds like our foreign policy. Feel free to assign blame to whichever party you please.
