What can be put into a car that's in outdoor storage to prevent mice from nesting?

Answer 1

D-Con Mouse Pruf

Put it in the trunk, under the hood, and in the interior of the vehicle. Mice love it, and it kills them quickly!!

Answer 2

Cat is not a good answer because all cats are not mousers. Peppermint works and mouse bait. If there is no mama mouse, there will be no baby mice either. Just make certain to change your bait every two - three weeks. And for all the mice lovers out there who give this a thumbs down.... you just don't realize what mice can do to the wiring in a car !!!

Answer 3

I use the tent like sticky traps and put it on the engine and/or around
parts I can stick my hand into. I also put one under the car. Don't
forget to remove before starting car(I have notes for myself about this on
the steering wheel). I've caught quite a few mice this way. One day when
my car had a winter inspection and mechanic saw the notes, he became
alarmed, laughed when I told him what it was for. The notes said"Remove
traps before starting car". I keep my car parked outside, we have no
garage and this is a heavily wooded area with lots of field mice. We have
a cat, but that's no help.LOL

Answer 4

Mothballs.

Answer 5

Mothballs may help. A cat would cause it's own set of problems. If you can figure it out, you can make a lot of money.

Answer 6

You can try a package of mothballs or better still, a CAT!

Answer 7

Peppermint oil. They hate the smell. I grow it around my house. I don't like to kill them,they stink.
