Im telling u man...... dont use those rat/mouse pellet poison. It doesnt kill them quickly.i had to pay 1500$ to have the dealership completely rip out my dash, take out all the aircon/heating ducts and clean them, take out the heater core, discharge the AC. And know what they found inside all through the ducts and on top of the cabin filter? About 6 handfulls of that rat poison, and a dead mouse. USE ******* STICKY AND SNAP TRAPS. Or you will pay the price as i did. I did the dryer sheet thing too, thats a myth, mice dont give two ***** about a scented piece of fab, they will just move it out of the way and keep going. Ive used mothballs with varried results and honestly i dont think that works ether. Just block EVERY entry into the car, inside and out with steel wool thats the best, because they cant chew through it. Ive also thought about trying to soak some rags in ghost pepper or trinidad scorpion pepper and letting it dry and using that. Im sure that would deter a mouse pretty fast. Dont forget your intake boxes. Ive looked and looked and i cant find an entry point into the car that would lead straight to the vents, especially from the tire arches as thats the only possible way for a mouse to get into the engine bay or INTO the car. Also covering the car will have over long term effects, it might be ok for the first few years but u will regret it. This is from experience of owning old restored muscle cars. And if your going to start it you have to do it constantly, not once or twice. Anyone like myself with a SS or TI exhaust dont have to worry about condensation. Besides, a lot of condensation builds in them while driving anyway, especially if its under 70 degrees outside, ever see water dripping out of the exhaust in front of u at a red light? They are designed to last under that condition.
