Thumbs down My 350z = really nice mouse house

About 6 months ago my AC/Heat fan was making a god aweful virbrating sound... it was shaking the entire dash and everything. The higher I cranked it the worse it got. Very little air was moving through the vents as well.

Finally got around to taking it to the dealer today and yep.... won't you know it a nice mice family had taken up living in my fan area. They had stolen gobs of insulation out of an area in my garage and placed into around the fan for their cozy new home. It was at least a 2 full ziplock bags worth of insulation...

So now I'm $80 dollars lighter in the pocket, my AC/Heat fan is working again (I put it off for 6 months because I didn't have time to deal with it). I sure the mice were quite happy during the winter, since I never really drove the Z for 4 months.

lol

my fiance has a mouse living in the dashboard of her civic. We haven't been able to figure out exactly where, but we keep finding shredded paper in the glovebox. Of course, she is insisting that we get a humane mousetrap to catch it. I'd rather just kill the bugger with a cheap old-school trap, but oh well.

What you need is a way to kill to mouse in such a way that it looks like an accident -- try to rolling up the windows and parking the car in direct sunlight all day. You'll kill the mouse and any pleasant fragrances in the car.

I get spiders in mine.

We've got tons of black widow spiders around my property, I spray and spray and ... they just come back within a week. Heck its like agent orange around here! The spiders in the Z have been little tiny ones and I have no idea how they get inside as I have the windows up.
