Your car and MICE!!
I cant seem to keep the mice out of my car. I set traps every night in the garage and allways kill a few per week but they keep coming. Any ideas?

the solution is to get poison food pellets. They work like a charm. Lay them all over the garage and in the morning you'll find a bunch of dead mice. Too bad they breed like rabbits though, their future generation will come after you.

When the mice die, the will do it behind furniture and stuff (or in your case, inside your car).
After a couple of days, the place tends to smell like sh*t! (or dead animal for that matter).
Happened on the DC restaurant I used to work. It took us a few days to shovel all the corpses out

The old spring head trap works great. problem is they found your car to be a good home, so the news has spread to the mice family. haha..you need to get rid of all of them!
Do you have food or something in your car? You better hope the mice don't start chewing up your wiring.
I had a groundhog eat some wiring on my Z. Go figure.

The cat idea is out, My dogs would kill it. I havent noticed any mice sh$$ inside my car "yet" and the traps do work...but man its never ending.
I agree about posion and risking dead mice inside the car but I might give it a try anyway.

I heard about the sonic repellent thing as well, looks pretty good.
On a side note: mice WILL CHEW YOUR WIRES! A friend of mine had his entire dash/radio lights out for like a MONTH and he had no clue how it happened. Checked all the fuses and the only way he found out what happened was because of this odious stench coming from the back of his dashboard. Took everything apart: found a dead mouse and chewed up exposed wires.
And yeah, the poison takes a few hours to kick in so they could be anywhere and you might have to play mouse hunt the next morning. But at least that insures a 100% kill rate.
