Mouse Droppings in Blackstone Griddle

[Gebo]

All of a sudden in the last few months I am finding mouse droppings on my Blackstone griddle. About 10-15 per episode. I heat it up, pour on the vinegar and then follow with a water steam bath. I always clean my griddle after every use. I heat it up and use water and a rag to clean it. I then use the Blackstone Griddle grease to get it ready for the next cook.

Do you have any suggestions? I thought about trying to seal the grease trap opening ?? Maybe put a glue trap right there where they will have to cross it to get in? I keep the lid and cover on when not in use.

Skip all that. Just get yourself a ball-bearing mouse trap.

Subscribed. I recently started having the same issue with my outdoor grill and snap style traps on the ground have stopped working; although they did work for a while.

Buy some rodent bait stations and put outside your home. Once they find food they will keep coming

I put one of those sticky traps on the griddle right in front of the grease drain opening and a peanut buttered snap trap on the bottom tray.

They make silicone covers for when not using the Blackstone. Apparently they’re hilarious judging by the photo.

Just ordered one!! Super idea!! Thank you!! This will solve the problem and keep the griddle surface even more “sanitary”. I got the Grydlmat with the hanger.
