A few weeks ago I opened my grill and found a mouse nest in the corner. So I took out and fired up the grill. All was good for a few days then one day I found two nests with a mouse for each. That turned into a mild game of whack'em as I tried to get the rodents out so I could grill. My father in-law suggested stuffing steel wool in every hole and opening of the grill.
This seemed to work until today when as I approached the grill I noticed some steel wool lying next to the grill. Sure enough I open the grill and saw a nest. I went to take the nest out when a mouse came scurrying out of the nest with many tiny newborn mice attached. As I went to poke the varmit until it left, baby mice were being scattered all about. So now my burgers are on the George Foreman grill.
I thought about just firing up the grill but then thought maybe my food would taste like mouse. If I go the poison route, I'm afraid a mouse might crawl under a burner then die. Resulting in poisoning my food when grilling. If I go with traps, I'm afrais innocents like chipmunks and squirrels might get killed.
Any suggestions?
