    Mice!

    I have a 2 month old Napoleon natural gas BBQ that I cannot keep mice out of it. After every use I strip it down and takes the grills, grease catcher and the bars over the burners inside for cleaning. A day or two later the entire inside of the cabinet all the way up and around the burners has mouse crap all over it.
    It takes 40 mins of cleaning and disinfecting before I even start cooking. Driving me nuts and ready to sell it and go back to a cheapy model that has no cabinet...buggers can't climb up.
    Any suggestions other than switch to pellets?? Lol There must be a safe repellent or something out there?

    Kill the mice. You have an infestation and they are just visiting the grill.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,

    ok. An infestation where? Outside? None in the garage and certainly not in the house. Maybe I need to dump a pile of warfarin order the deck.

    They have to coming from somewhere. Do you feed pets outdoors?

    Get a few of these and place around. Cats and dogs and kids can't get in it. Fill with bait. It'll take a while but it will work

    No. We have one dog and the " King" eats nothing but the best in the comfort if his castle.

    I picked up a bunch of poison traps and placed them up under the deck (ground level, nothing big can get under it). Fingers crossed.
