We have had all our stuff stored at my parents shop for the last 2 months while we waited to move into our new home. I took all the couches and chairs, wrapped them in boat plastic and taped them up tight and then set everything on 8-10” blocks off the concrete. We put the high pitch noise makers that are suppose to keep mice away in a number of outlets, set moth balls out, and my parent’s acreage has a number of cats as well as 3 dogs that sleep in the same shop. With the mild winter, I didn’t worry too much about mice, but I went to start un-wrapping all our chairs and couches last night to start loading in our trailer and the little b**tards got into everything, not one piece of furniture doesn’t have a hole in it. I set traps out last night with no avail. So here is my question, any tips or tricks to make sure all those little SOBs are out of my stuff before I move it into my new home. I haven’t told my wife because she will want to buy new furniture, so if I have a mouse running around our house s**t will hit the fan. Its been pretty warm out, and moving it all around I didn’t see anything run out and all the turds are pretty dried up so I’m not too worried about any still hiding out, but I want to be sure.

Question is, how is your wife NOT gonna notice holes in her furniture??? She's a woman, they notice things like that.
Just might suck to be you right now for two reasons,,You might be buyin' new furniture, &...Yer wife's gonna drag you around for a weekend or two shopping for the crap
I wouldn't recommend using D-con either. They claim it kills mice without the smell of death...but that's total bullchit.

She wont notice unless she starts flipping cusions and looking at the bottom of the couch. I hope by then a month or so has past and she will believe me that all the mice are gone.
You're DOOMED brother!
Just admit defeat now and get done with it.
If the mice have been LIVING in the couch, then she will SMELL the remains of their habitation!
Be the Champion, take her furniture shopping for Valentine's Day and turn this to your advantage!!

I have peanut butter on them now. I got lucky, a cheap couch is where it looks like they did the majority of their living, that one will prob be going to the dump. I have 2 leather couches and a leather chair that are worth about $5k that have nibble marks but I dont know if they ever got into them, if those arent usable I'm waging war on rodents and wont stop till i kill them all. Another couch has some holes so i have to asses that situation. little b**tards!
DOOOOOMEEDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I have always put Bounce dryer sheets in our campers to keep mice out and have known other people that have done the same. Maybe stuff a crapload of those dryer sheets any where you can and that might help chase them out. At least the furniture will have that nice fresh scent.
