Put a cat in there for the winter? Awww nevermind bad idea! Lol I heard something about mothballs maybe but I don't know how true that is but they don't smell too good either.

silly boy,,just lock your doors
i put a couple mouse traps inside and check often

Last couple of years I have taken the "Bounce" type sheets that your wife puts in the clothes dryer and liberally placed them in the interior, trunk, and underhood compartments. Seems to have worked okay since I had some mice trouble before this...none thereafter!

I've got one in wife's car I can not catch with traps or using the 5 gallon bucket with floating bait trick. Has too much food from goldfish crackers etc. that kids have left in there to care about my trapping. Have never failed with peanut butter on a noodle in the old style victor trap until now. Guy even ate about 4 sticks of gum and survived.

My next solution is going to be to route a piece of metal flex into the car from the tailpipe and gas his a$$.

I have been using the electronic clicker on an extension cord under my old cars & that has worked. Also got some of the peppermint extract. Supposed to work well in engine compartments to keep them out.

Subscribing.

I'm currently using the dryer sheets in the car (underhood and in the trunk as well) with
"mouse food" packets placed at all the openings to the garage.

They take the poison and leave the wrappers (I've found a couple bodies) but so far seem to be leaving the cars alone.

Try one of the newer "sticky" traps baited with a little p-butter or cheese. This way you get the pleasure of snufing the little unwelcome guests using a method of your choice .

X2 on that the sticky traps with peanut butter do work. They love peanut butter!

Bruce! Don't gas 'em! They'll die in the car and stink it to high heaven. If you use D-con, once they start eating it they can't stop until they're dead. Be certain that you leave a flat pan of water near the bait. They start to bleed internally and get a raging thirst. They go to the water and die there. If they're poisoned and die somewhere that you can't get to them, they'll stink to high heaven. The bleeding will cause the odor when they decompose.

Go organic. Catch em and slow roast em over charcoal. Or dip em and do em up like corn dogs. Kids love em for snacks. LOL

Might be a bit dated, but was funny as heck.

I hope you are not squeemish about baiting the vermin out of your place. Just bait them and be done with it. There is entire industry out there eliminating mice and rats for the betterment of society.

We have the technology and it is proven, why even mess around? Or get one of them Co-exist bumper stickers that the leftist place on their cars.

Old school snap trap secure a cotton ball on the trigger with some dental floss and add some coconut oil to the cotton ball and you will catch your mice. This has never failed me, so give it a try.
