They eat it and cant digest it so it clogs them up.
Just be sure and check the car every few days.
I cant imagine what a dead mouse that full of p@@p smells like.

Sure it wasn't this little guy?

Nice doggy ! Myself, I got the interior out of the car. Funny how these mice like to roam around the headliner and even the sunvisors. Before I took my seat to the upholster, I found stuffing out of the backseat make its way to the inside of the console where they made their nest. I have mouse poison and sticky pads in the car now...no more mice since.

Many of the previous methods can work for catchig mice, and I have enjoyed real success with peanut butter as bait. Snap traps are cheap, quick, and easy to use. But, as long as you have a hospitable environment for the mice, they will keep coming back. The only way to continually keep them out, without endless and constant maintenance of the traps, is to get a cat. Let him do the "maintenance" for you. (Just clear out the antifreeze buckets first).

Mice ate the peanut butter and sh!t all over the place. Cheese and raw fruit has ensnared 2 so far...

The problem with cats is they can do as much or more damage than the mice! The dang things climb all over your car scratching the paint with their claws. Even our declawed cat manages to scratch the heck out of our cars trying to climb up the sides to get on top to sleep. They knock stuff down, scratch at stuff, track oil or whatever all over the place, leave hair everywhere, and they stink. If the kids weren't so attached to our cat it would already be gone. Once my '67 is repainted there will never be a cat at my house again.

OOPS, I forgot to proof read my gramar etc...on my last post. I guess I'll never be mistaken for a typing expert.

Dryer sheets work very well. Just tuck or tie them in the suspect areas. Works great for you outdoor BBQ grill too.
Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by Mr Jinx's "I hate those meeces to pieces"
