when my friend movied into thier new house out back was an older prebuild garden shed. opened it up to put his riding mower in it and saw about 4 mice scurry around. Needing to deal with the house stuff he decided to put it in anyways and mess with it tommorow.

Anyways as life does he left it alone for about 2 weeks, went to mow the yard , opened the door to the shed and immediately and slowly closed the door. Saw a 5 foot black rat snake curled around the steering wheel and on the seat. Hasn't had a mouse problem since! Hasnt seen the snake either...

so yea id say install a cat or install a snake in the garage...cat may pee on things or get fur everywhere but a snake wont, may take a nap on the warm engine tho..
