Not the title of my new band; just wondered, having used butyric acid on teatowels spread over super frames fir clearing, does anyone know if the resultant repellent smell is any good at keeping mice/rats out of my beekeeping shed? Buggers are eating the bait inside and out and STILL nibbling on some poly and woodenware, and I've got no food or wax in there, not sure why they're so determined. The official catcher just eats and sleeps all day and somehow they elude traditional traps, but they're scoffing the bait in 2 boxes inside and 3 outside, all gone within a week. There HAS to be some techy/smelly solution that actually works!?
