I Hate Those Meeces to Pieces!

While driving the Healey yesterday, feathers started coming out of the defroster event. After dropping the bottom off the heater box, I discovered a good-sized mouse nest crammed up inside. It wasn't there in the fall when I put the car away and the mice didn't seem all that disturbed by the peppermint-scented trash bags I spread all over the car. I have no clue how the mice got past the heater blower motor to find a home deep in the bowels of the heater box. Anyone have a good cure for mice in the car besides Jinx the Cat?

The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese :rolleye:

Those scented laundry dryer sheets. They seemed to work for our MG, until I stopped renewing them. :mad::censored:

You have to find a scent that mice don't like. Maybe cat urine. I would also look at the air hoses for mouse holes.

Good results for me were when I started running a small fan in the garage. Also keep a low wattage light on. The drone of the fan, (and air movement?), and the light, have kept mice out of the garage for four years. Critters never returned once I started the fan/light combination.

My two shekels.

PS - I also heard that a pile of fresh cow manure on the floor under the dash would keep the mice away too. Decided against that.
