Will mice drink antifreeze

[Ronski]

I have snap traps, live traps, and bait stations scattered around the place. Just wondering about a saucer of antifreeze inside each piece of equipment as a last line of defense. Will mice drink it?
Definately won't have it outside where a cat or pet could get to it but just inside the cab or in closed equipment sheds.

Thanks

Our mice don't drink it.lol..

Don’t seem to here either. I gave up on them. Have a trapline set around the walls of the sheds and under and around critical equipment. Check and empty them daily (snap traps).

3 gallon pail, 3" green antifeeze, a chunck of saskpower marking flag heated up on one end poked through the pail near handle pivot, then through centre of a plastic pop bottle, a smear of penut butter on bottle. Works great dead mice do not stink up the vehicle. Rv antifeeze ends up freezing, but 28-0-0 also works well. An ice fishing ice scooper works well for emptying the pails. Put ramps to pail perpendicular to the bottle to force mice to jump and bottle a few inches lower than rim.

We use peanut butter and snap traps.
Works better than 20 liter pail with wheat in it..

5 gallon pail with an inch of treated canola seed at the bottom. Best bait station and mouse poison out there.

We find concentrated peppermint oil keeps them away,those traps with yellow fake cheese gets them good too
Are the mice ever thick this year !
I wondered if antifreeze up high would kill those rats with wings(pigeons)??

The plastic pail with the rod and pop can works good but had that set up in my shed and the first time I checked it I had 3 weasels in the antifreeze. Won’t use it now.

Have the 20L pails and pop bottles, smear some peanut butter...always mice in them. Cats lick the peanut butter unfortunately, sometimes knock over pails to get mice. Real cats we have now are excellent mousers too.Tin Cats work great, seems just curiosity gets them to enter, quit baiting Tin Cats but dead mouse smell must help. Snap traps in trucks just in case one gets in. Never use bait, too many DIED in trucks over the years, THEN IT STINKS!
Most antifreeze has a BITTER additive, so no animals will drink it.
