Houseboat Damage - any repellents to protect of Mice, Rats, Mouse, Rodents

Houseboat problems with mouse, rats, mice, rodents ....

When it comes to houseboat damage protection, is there any repellents to protect from mice, rats, mouse, or rodents on boats?

I was curious if anyone has any good mice repellents they use during winter storage? I never have had a problem during storage until this year. All the food is removed but am afraid they will start ripping into the furniture looking for bedding.

I have heard that "Bounce" dryer sheets work but am a little skeptical. If anyone had any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tim from Iowa

Well Tim, thanks for bringing up a common problem with some of the houseboats around the country.

When it comes to ridding a boat of animals, vermin, rats, etc, you will find the following article of interest to you:

For folks that are dealing with others types of unwanted guests on their house boats, you will likely want to read the following page:

Again, sorry to hear about your rodent problem, yet by following the tips in the Rats article, I am sure that your problem will be a thing of the past.
