MICE!

Danged mice! My wifes air conditioning on the Miata quit and upon inspection, it was clear that mice have eaten the wires to one of the AC sensors and also the wires to her cooling fans! Other wires seem to be unaffected! So that's what I'm doing this Memorial weekend Sunday!

We tried that for a year and got 0 mice. However, the other day I finally went and bought some good old fashioned mouse traps and bated them with beanut butter - Got 2 mice the very first night!
 
stick to the old fashioned traps...my wife uses our mice issue for an excuse to keep adding to our barn cat population...problem is she feeds them so much they're all too fat to even chase the mice!!!

If this car sits for extended periods of time, put a couple of bounce dryer sheets in it and the mice will leave it alone. Bonus, your car smells nice

Someone told my wife the exact same thing! I'll do it!
 
I'll have to try the dryer sheets trick too. Someone told me to use moth balls. It works but my TD now smells like my grandparents.
