What do you guys use to try to keep mice out of your cars when they are in storage?

I use mothballs around the outside of the car. Also wrap some up in rags and stuff them in the tailpipes. (always forget to take them out in the spring). Don't put mothballs inside your car because you will never get the smell out.......

I use these little packs that mice are to eat. Bye bye. Pretty cheap, two packs does all around the car and inside as well. Can't think of the name,but the are in the same section of the store as mouse traps.

Another option....go to your local animal shelter and get an old angry cat nobody wants. Have him live in the garage (with heat of course) and don't over-feed him! :lock:

My neighbor uses peanut butter to catch squirrels in a steel trap. Well my dog figured out how to steal the peanut butter without getting caught till we saw it!

I've got one shrewd rat in my attic over the garage. He's cleaned the peanut butter off the trap numerous times so far. It's only a matter of time 'till I get him...

I used Decon mouse or rat poison on top of the peanut butter so they get a little something with their meal. :devil:
