What to use on the boat.
LIke everyone, I have put the boat away for the winter. It's kept inside a shop with the covers on. The other night I had a Nightmare That a rat got in the boat and, you can figure the rest. My question is, what could I put in the boat to deter them from looking to make a home in it?

I have always used dryer sheets every where
just make sure the area is dry where you place them
also helps take away the smell in hte spring time

I used moth-balls/moth crystals in various places in the cabin, cockpit, and engine compartment. I made sure to get some down in the stringer area in the engine compartment so they wouldn't have a party underneath. It worked well.

I have put those little boxes of rat/mice poison in key locations inside the cabin and cockpit. Figured if they got in there, they would do too much damage before they croaked.
