[Farmall] Rodents!

[Aaron Dickinson]

Something I have used for many years with great success for keeping 
squirels, chipmunks, and mice out are dryer sheets. I use Bounce brand, but 
any should do, you just lay them about where you don't want the rodents (I 
use one per tractor up under the hood somewhere) I have had problems with 
squirels storing their walnuts in my grain drill, one sheet in the seed bin, 
no more walnuts. The dryer sheets should be changed yearly to be most 
effective, although I have used some longer.
As an added bonus the tractors smell nicer and are softer to the touch.
