Evict mice from your car; prevent return

Mice infestations in vehicles can cause damage and health hazards, requiring immediate action to remove the rodents and prevent their return. Rodents can enter vehicles through various openings, attracted by warmth and food residue, potentially causing thousands of dollars in damage by chewing wires and leaving droppings. Prevention includes keeping the car clean, avoiding extended parking, and using repellents. To eliminate mice, methods include making the vehicle less hospitable, using repellents like peppermint oil, and setting traps. After removal, a mechanic should inspect the vehicle for damage, which may be covered by insurance.
