Stopping rodents from getting into garage.

[jjj70095]

Apparently a mouse got into my garage and got into my seadoo boat and chewed wires by the fuse. Luckily no major damage and a new fuse box was put it and everything is fine. How can one prevent rodents from getting into garage? Dont know how it got in.....Or how to protect boat from rodents. I heard moth balls are illegal and laundry sheets only work for a small while. Or cayanne pepper?

Don't think mothballs are illegal in Wisconsin if used as intended, as pesticide. Either way I think they make some type of organic substitute. Dryer sheets might smell a little different to rodents even after time. Otherwise Irish Spring soap - cut into pieces and spread around or open box and leave in box. Old fashioned mouse traps and glue traps might help. And the original - Pussy Cat.
