[Histonet] blocking endogenous peroxidase when using ABC staining and DAB

Hi,I'm working as a lab technician at UF making using 
immunohistochemistry (ABC method and then DAB, specifically) to 
find out where eNOS is located in sheep placenta tissue. However, 
I seem to be both not getting staining on the endothelial cells 
(which is weird since I'm using eNOS antibody) and getting a lot 
of staining due to endogenous peroxidase activity. I've already 
tried putting the slides in a solution of 1:10 30%hydrogen 
peroxide to methanol for as long 40 min, and it still doesn't seem 
to quench the endogenous peroxidase. Anyone have any suggestions 
as to other methods of quenching it?
