Mice do thousands of dollars worth of damage to car everywhere. Most people do not even know they have mice in the car!
Mice can damage a car to the point of having to be sold! I had one customer that did this because of smell and the car did at one point make him physically sick! Here are some tips to protect your car from mice! No mice! No damage!

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Irish soap (bar style)
Jack stands

Step 1

Clean car inside! Clean it good! That means get all of the chips and pretzels that have fallen between the seats vacuumed out! Get the two month old slice of pizza too! do not give mice a reason to look for food in your car! If they find food they will stay and use your car for a home causing damage as they go!
Step 2

soap bars

I have experimented with this because I heard it worked! Over the years I have to say it does. Take two bars of Irish soap out of the box, place one on the floor board in front of each front seat. Place a paper plate underneath each! Mice don't like the sent put off by the soap! It works well for keeping mice from getting in and causing that damage we are protecting your car from!
