How to Keep Mice Out of Your Car
As temperatures drop, mice may seek shelter in your car, causing costly damage. Here are some quick tips to keep them out:
1. Park in a Garage: Whenever possible, park in a garage or covered area to reduce the chances of mice getting in.
2. Keep It Clean: Remove food wrappers and vacuum regularly. Mice are attracted to crumbs and nesting materials.
3. Use Repellents: Place peppermint oil-soaked cotton balls or rodent repellent spray in areas like the engine bay and trunk.
4. Seal Entry Points: Inspect for gaps, especially in the engine bay, and seal them with wire mesh or rodent tape.
5. Set Traps: Set traps near your car if you’ve had issues before, and check them regularly.
6. Leave the Hood Open: If parking for an extended period in a safe area, leave the hood open to make the car less appealing to mice.
