Keeping the Mice Out of my Car - HOW?
Hey Guys,
Any tips or tricks to keeping the mice from making the inside of my car a home?
My neighbours are complaining about mice in their homes and don't want the car to become a home....
Thanks

Make sure theres no open holes into the car from the outside...that's really the only way aside from catching/killing/poisoning them.

Now collecting for the "Finish the damn thing & start driving it" fund.
Feel free to contribute....anything...will accept Canadian Tire money.
Will "fabric softener" sheets work on Mice? Thought I read it somewhere.

We tried the fabric softener sheet and they chewed it up and made a bed out of it.
Last winter they destroyed the headliner in our Monte Carlo. Took the insulation from the firewall and stuffed it into the headliner.
We use this stuff that you get from TSC. It comes in green blocks in a bucket. It's a poison so don't put it anywhere where kids or pets will be.

Got a friend on a farm that lays sticky mouse trap sheets around the tires and chilli powder under the car...it's a different approach but he's had no mice in the car for several years.

Hey Bill, use lots of moth balls. Not only good for the moths. I put them all around and in the engine bay.
