Mice !

[Boxjam]

Hi all 

 

Has anyone  had any issues with mice? Today I noticed that mice have eaten a nice hole in my rear drip tray, pollen filter and under dash cover in passenger footwell 😞. If I get the rear drip trays replaced anyone know how this can be stopped from happening again?

Cars  are parked on a driveway and they have already had a good feed under the bonnet of my other car.

Is this  a one off or quite common?

 

cheers

Common problem.  Solution is several traps with peanut butter on the trip lever set around the car.  Just remember where you put them........

Ok thanks for the reply . Is there anything you can spray that is safe and not flammable?

Try an old farmers trick by soaking cotton balls with peppermint oil.

 

I do this all the time with my Porsche when I store it away for the winter. I’ve never had a mice or rat problem with my car.
