Keeping Mice Out.

I think they get in through the cowl vents. Not through the top, but through the hole in the bottom by the kick panels.

Any other ideas?
Any tips on what works to keep them out?

Re: Keeping Mice Out.

I have a guy that comes out monthly and does bug and rodent "stuff".
Thru the kick vent panel/cowl?

Re: Keeping Mice Out.

I've read where dryer sheets, like Bounce, work well in repelling those nasty little things. I cannot vouch for this, but it might be worth checking into.

Re: Keeping Mice Out.

I keep my Jeep in an open barn. I throw a bag of mothballs under it and haven't had any mice. Also I put it underneath my sheds.

Re: Keeping Mice Out.

Peppermint oil sprayed on cotton-balls works also.

Re: Keeping Mice Out.

My vehicle is stored in one of those car shelters. I have sealed it up pretty well but rodents could definitely get in. I have found evidence of them have a catering some of my storage boxes in the past. I now use a multi layered defense. In the corners and a half way down the sides I place the Decon rat poison little boxes. I place peppermint oil all along the outside edges and in the front and rear. I have also heard Irish Spring soap works so I break a few bars in half and scatter them under the vehicle. And then I placed a few bounce dryer sheets in the engine compartment and a few other places. I also will stick some steel wool in the exhaust pipes. In the last few years of doing this I have seen no evidence of rodents?

There seems to be quite of few videos on YouTube about that.

My cat has been living in my truck for the last seven years, and I have never had a mouse.
