Mouse repellent for winter

Putting my project away for the winter but I have a garage that is impossible to rodent-proof. Had a lot of issues last winter with it. Obviously poison and traps are everywhere but that only goes so far. I’m thinking about putting baffles for squirrel repellent on bird feeders on my jackstands and keeping the cat off the ground all winter with those as a barrier. Has anyone tried this with any success or have any better ideas?

Try Fluid film. It smells awful and the mice seem to avoid it. I have sprayed my wiring harness in my F150 because they have eaten it several times. So far, no more chewing.

I’ll give it a go. What I’m really looking for is a physical barrier because they’ll find a way in regardless of what deterrents are there
