We have lost 2 fuel tanks on the Audi a2s over the years it’s been said rodents like the smell of diesel the tanks were both chewed on the top of tanks were pipes connect ..I have poison bait boxes and rat traps around the property ..but this time of year they are all looking for somewhere dry and warm also lost an engine black felt cover ..with a mouse nest in there .?One thing is that she use my beloved car as her toilet...
Lucily no sign of "bite marks" thoug I am very conserned wrt cabels...
Any idea where she enter???
No, it smell female so I doubt it's Mickey...?Are you taking the Mickey
I will try that terry ..I hope it’s better than A recommendation I was given years ago mothballs down mole hills To put the critters off coming in our garden I bought up load and duly stuffed them down all I could see next day was like some one had use the grassy area for a golf practise ..white Moth ball yes ?..they turffed them out .,I know use a tunnel type trap Caught 7 last year before long will have enough for a fur coat .,joke for all you animal lovers..?Have a problem with Field mice all my cars,
mainly in the engine bay, so every few weeks I sprinkle drops of Peppermint oil around the engine bay like the Pope blessing my engine.
It diffinatly seems to work,apparently mice don't like the smell.And smells OK when you turn on heater fan,and now I always have too keep a packet of mints in the CarView attachment 73296
I had a mole in my vegetable garden back in July,I was working in the garden and I could see the soil moving, so I start jumping up and down on the area in my Wellies just then my wife comes around the corner to see me doing a John Cleese impersonationI will try that terry ..I hope it’s better than A recommendation I was given years ago mothballs down mole hills To put the critters off coming in our garden I bought up load and duly stuffed them down all I could see next day was like some one had use the grassy area for a golf practise ..white Moth ball yes ?..they turffed them out .,I know use a tunnel type trap Caught 7 last year before long will have enough for a fur coat .,joke for all you animal lovers..?

First catch your mouse.It will only be able to squeeze its self through a gap if the gap is bigger than its skull
Would it be considered poor form to keep an underfed cat In the engine bay? Obviously only when parked up. I’m not proposing while the car is in motion.First catch your mouse.
Next, measure it's skull (care must be taken so the mouse is not stressed in any way). Repeat several times, using a different mouse each time. To ensure the same mouse is not measured twice (which would invalidate the survey result), the mouse should be marked using a mouse friendly marker pen, prior to release.
Using the average skull size of at least ten mice (to ensure the survey is statistically representative of the local mouse population), calculate the average skull size, to at least one decimal place.
Now, cut a piece of non abrasive material, of circular cross section, the circumference of which should be equal to the average skull size calculated above. This will be used as a MAD (Mouse Access Detector).
Now check all shut lines, cable entries, and similar using the MAD.
Using a MIF (Mouse Impervious Filler) block all PMAPs (Potential Mouse Access Points).
Note: The use of a MAD of average mouse skull size will ensure a few younger mice will be able to access a food source, and so ensure local bio diversity is not compromised.

A Catalickit converter, I like the idea.Would it be considered poor form to keep an underfed cat In the engine bay? Obviously only when parked up. I’m not proposing while the car is in motion.
