A guy I work with said I should set out a small cup of antifreeze on the ground around the car instead of the decon stuff. Mice will drink that and will go look for water instead of eatting the decon crawling in the car and dieing. I have no cats or anything that would eat the mice just wondering if anyone has done that?

Moth ***** don't work, I had a sock full of them on the intake manifold and the little bastards made a nest on it.

to keep from getting flat spots on my tires i just park it on a soft pad ie: squares of carpet, rubber mats, or anything soft that will seperate my car from the cold hard concrete. I use squares of old carpet with the padding still under them... works great for me!
