After "X" number of complaints an insurance agent told me to scatter a few Moth Balls in anything we stored. Problem immediately solved and have never had that problem again been nigh onto 15 years now....Catch them with peanut butter- make 'em run with Moth Balls!

Just another of my 2-cents worth...

I am going to have to try that.. MY wife told me that a few weeks ago as well but i had read somewhere that it is only a short term solution.. But you are speaking from experience that it works, so its worth the shot. I should go check my traps and see if I caught any more..
