closing the cottage for the winter advice

If you as a rule have a problem with mice I would suggest fiquring out how they get in and solve the problem. Because once there in it is hard to protect things when no one is around. This year I found a few points of access that the little buggers where coming in through. Plugged them up and set traps and cought three of them. Now I just need to go back and make sure no more have been caught.

With that said I usually put a few of those electric rodant buzzers in the sockets, cover the beds with plastic, and try to make sure there is absolutely no food source available. But of course with the exception of this year I have never seen a mouse in the cabin.
