Brenda H Posted September 20, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 20, 2014 I'm PISSED!! WE have mice in our house. I went to get my brand new, never used Scorpion Exo1000 helmet to see about mounting the Edsets I've bought to put in my helmets in it. It was sitting upside down and the lil dears had built a nest in it! The styrofoam was in tiny pieces making the helmet unusable. I bought this when the 1000s when on clearance after Scorpion replaced it with the 1100. Paying $160 for it beat the regular price of $280. I don't want to pay the $280 for another one but I need the sunshield thanks to my eyes being very light sensitive. So far as I know, the helmet is a write off. If they had just chewed up the liner, which appears to be intact, I could replace it after giving the helmet a thorough cleaning. GRRRRRR!! One thing I am curious about . Most helmet manufacturers usually have two helmet shell sizes. It is the liners inside that make the different sizes. Some of the outfits do the change in shell size between large and xlarge, others do it between medium and large. I'd like to know where Scorpion does their change. I can still find a few Exo1000 [would you believe $54?] out there but they are the tiny sizes, XS and Small. If Scorpion does the change between L and XL, I can buy a Small and replace the liner with a Large one and have my helmet back! Anyone have the answer to that??

slowrollwv Posted September 21, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 21, 2014 I have an HJC helmet that was discontinued and was able to buy new inserts. Cost me about $60.00 instead of $180.00 for a new helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brd7666 Posted September 21, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 21, 2014 I can't help you with the helmet. If you want to kill the mice and rats, go to Tractor Supply. They have the best rodent killer out there. It comes in blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted September 21, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 21, 2014 NEVER hang a helmet upside down!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda H Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted September 21, 2014 NEVER hang a helmet upside down!! It wasn't hung upside down. It was sitting on a shelf and apparently got knocked over. It is/was my backup helmet and for use when I had to ride in weather, as my primary lid is a HJC SyMax II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam Posted September 21, 2014 Share #8 Posted September 21, 2014 We used to have mouse issues, but we got a mobile mouse trap. That trap worked for squirrels, moles and even gophers. The trap wore out after a few years so we got another. Now we have three traps and no mice. All the traps are stored outside so they are always set and armed.

Trader Posted September 21, 2014 Share #9 Posted September 21, 2014 DO NOT waste your time or money on electronic mouse defenders. I put one in our rental and the tenant said the mice chewed a baby bottle that was on the floor right in front of the sending unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that sound like your mobile trap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of picking up one of these tomorrow. I also just purchased a Solar Pest Repeller that claims to emit a sound and vibration pulse that repels rodents. The folks at Costco said they hadn't yet had any returned but if I don't think it works, just return it. It is for outdoor use and they claim rodents will move away after 2 to 12 weeks. Has anyone else here tried one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam Posted September 24, 2014 Share #12 Posted September 24, 2014 Mobile trap translates to a good cat.. I have a couple of those transmitter things in the shed and I think they work to a degree. I also use some warferin seed. Mobile trap seems to work just by having them around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eusa1 Posted September 24, 2014 Share #14 Posted September 24, 2014 buy a package of juicy fruit gum. the rodents can't stay away from it and it wont harm any other animals. works great for moles in the yard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted September 24, 2014 Share #15 Posted September 24, 2014 You can also teach a dog that mice are a fun treat. It is just a little dangerous to have an 80 lb dog flying through the house to pounce. Don't get in the way....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
