I've got nine box blinds on my property. A few are mouse proof but will a degree of fly and insect problems (my 3 Redneck Blinds). Others are wood framed with plywood sides which get mouse and insect issues. I have two roto-molded blinds which can also have mouse and insect issues. Also I have two plastic "Menards" blinds.....which have similar mouse and insect issues.
I have some nice high back office chairs in the Redneck blinds....and have had no issues with mice...thankfully. <---this alone makes these blinds of higher value to me.
I have put padded secretary chairs in most of the other blinds......and little by little have had mice chew the daylights out of those padded chairs. Also have mice get into my heaters and rugs and make a mess and stink up the whole stand. Argh. I hate mice. This year I lost two chairs and floor carpeting to the freaking mice.
No more. I have now placed steel folding chairs (cheap) in those blinds and use a boat cushion to sit on. The cushion can be hung up when not in use. Ive been putting dryer sheets under my heaters with pretty good success.....and use a few no-pest strips in a few that have insect issues (moths, flies, etc).
Any other good tips on box blind pest deterrents? I'm at war with mice and insects.
