bbq: Can they climb stainless steel? Today when I got home from work I let my dogs out, they started sniffing around the BBQ so I opened the lid, and there was two of them just walking around underneath the grill surface, this is not the first time, and I'm not cruel enough to light the BBQ and torch them!|||Mice are determined little cusses and will go anywhere they smell food. Like the inside of your BBQ. The vasoline on the BBQ legs trick may help..or the little buggers may eat it! You might try going and finding some pennyroyal plants and tossing some fresh leaves in the BBQ when it is not in use. Pennyroyal is a type of mint and it naturally repels mice and some other vermin. Pennyroyal is NOT good for people to eat, so toss it out of the BBQ before you begin firing it up. It is a non-toxic method in that it does not leave any chemical residue in the area. Other non-toxic solutions might include getting *glue-board* type traps and set the legs of the BBQ on them. Any mice that get close enough to touch the BBQ leg will get snared by the glue board. Of course, your dogs may try to snack on the rodents before you show up!|||try putting vassoline on the legs of the bbq grill it makes it impossible to climb up. or u could have bbq rat for supper tonite herd they taste like chicken lol
