Mice Ate My Car!

Yes, it's called rat poison, available at most household retailers.

Luckily that doesn't look too serious. That would be if it had gotten in your intake or exhaust. If it were me, id wage all out war on the mice!

First, let me say that I was disappointed when I opened this thread, expecting to see nothing left of a Z except some undigested metal, and some very large mice lounging nearby with full bellies.

OK, seriously I had this happen to another car. I had no idea there were mice in my garage until it happened. They did a good job on the wiring harness under the hood, causing a variety of codes. And an fairly expensive repair.

So a trip to the store for a pack of traps and some peanut butter led to the violent death of 4 of the little buggers in 3 days. I now always have a least one trap set in the garage as a matter of prevention. I agree with Kenchan...it's not if I get mice again, but when.

Mice hate the smell of Bounce fabric softener sheets, look it up its true! Tuck in a few of them near obvious entry points and the mice will run the other way. Don't risk using poison or traps if you have kids or other pets.
