Anybody got any good recommendations?? All I have now is some traps set under the car with peanut butter. But I don't think that is too effective since that is what I知 using in my apartment and after a couple weeks, they don't go for the old peanut butter(which I found out last night). So now I知 worried my car is vulnerable to mice. For now, I asked my dad to at least change the peanut butter. Last year I used moth ***** but it stunk up the garage and some of my parent痴 house so they weren't too happy about that. I知 really regretting I didn稚 use the moth ***** this year now that I知 6 hours away from the car. So if anybody knows any good remedies to keeping mice away, please let me know.

Thanks in advance

They should sell a stick of this stuff that draws them in to eat it and they die. Its like a clear yellow stick you can find it at home depot or a lowes.

I've heard that dryer sheets (scented, anti-static, softeners, like Bounce) deter and repel the varmints.
Anyone confirm this??

Werd to the dryer sheets. The last winter I stored my 89 IROC at the farm, I FILLED the car with dryer sheets. I also had mouse poison around and inside the car, and I didn't have a problem. No mouse stench or dead mice inside the car whatsoever

Moth ***** in a pair of panty hose under the hood. It will smell like all hell but no rats. I've lived in the sticks my whole life and other than my faithful tomcat nothing seems to slow them down.

My cat is too fat and lazy. Perhaps if the mice came up and walked into his mouth...

I got a chuckle at this thread as I have had some mouse experience. My car sat in the back corner of the garage for several months last winter while I was working on other projects, fast foward several months, I am backing out of the garage, car dies, no fuel pump prime. Cut the trap door out planning to change pumps, and the top of my tank is covered, and I mean covered with dog food. After vacumming it all off, the little bastards had chewed up my fuel pump wire, and I guess it just finally broke all the way. Easy enough fix but glad I wasn't far away from home. One of my freind's 02 silverado sat for six months or so and it was dead when he went back to start it. They had built a nest under the plastic pcm shroud, and butchered all kinds of wires right at the pcm. I will def be doing something, to gid rid of them this winter.
