pour out cig butts around your tent. smear peanut butter on that one guys tent before bed.
or just lower someone's food bag to the ground and walk away, just like putting a human sacrifice into an angry volcano.

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
electric fence anyone?
The forest is my home to. Mice are the #1 cause of Lyme. They keep the shelters infested with ticks and fleas. I see good old mouse traps at many shelters, I put them to use. At on shelter I found 13 mouse traps, so I set them all, on a ledge, no bait. next morning there were 12 less mice in the shelter and the wildlife was well fed.
Here is a great thing to do, spray cotton balls with Permethrin they really weight nothing, leave a few at each shelter on ledges, mouse paths, they will carry them back to there nest where they will kill all the ticks and fleas! Lyme is real!!
There was a segment on ticks and Lyme on NPR.
They said that a single mouse can host 150 ticks

What about cayenne pepper? I've heard it keeps the mice away, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's not a smell that bears would be attracted to. Anyone ever tried it?
What about Mexican mice? Or we could just build a wall and let those Mexican mice pay for it

I wonder if dog or cat fur would leave enough residue smell to make a rodent think that a predator was around?
I Think Mice are Rather Nice
I think mice are rather nice.
Their tails are long, their faces small
They haven’t any chins at all.
Their ears are pink, their teeth are white,
They run about the house all night.
They nibble things they shouldn’t touch
And no one seems to like them much.
But I think mice are nice.
love to eat them mousies
mousies what I love to eat
bite they little heads off
nibble on they tiny feet

What we need is a few good recipes for mouse dishes. Mouse problem solved, less food to carry. I did like the idea of the permethrin-soaked cotton balls, too - might work. Personally, I just stay away from most shelters.
