Getting mice out of your car
Mice are smaller than rats so they can squeeze through someplace even rats cannot. Because of their size, they are hard to identify and locate which makes them an even difficult foe. But why they end up in your car remains the same nonetheless. Food, shelter, and protection are the primary reasons for their unwelcome arrival in your car, one that by no means you are looking forward to. But the options at your disposal are the same in case of rats. Below mentioned are a few steps that you should follow to make your car free of these rodents.
Provide an exit path
Leave the door, hood or trunk of your car open. This will not only provide them with a path to leave from but also annoy them with the light coming in. Mice love dark and gloomy themselves that’s why you find them in dark, dusty and deserted places. So, you have to take this ambitious step and hope that the mice may leave. However, this may not prove to be effective, compelling you to take the following steps.
Hide the pet food
Don’t leave pet food lying around in your car. This food will attract these animals into your car, and the will wreak havoc. They will try to stuff this food everywhere in your car. You will find granules of pet food from places you wouldn’t have imagined. It is one of the signs that there is a rodent in your car. Moreover, they will also contaminate the food, leaving you pet ill or suffering for days.
Block small entrances
You need to identify and locate small holes or entrances anywhere in your car and block them. Moreover, you also need to inspect your parking area and see if there aren’t any places that mice are using to enter and leave your car as they please. Seal off all the entry and exit places, killing off their route to your car.
Use deterrents
You can also use deterrents at the entrances in your car. You should use peppermint oil or cat litter at the entrances of your car’s engine compartment to repel these rodents. These have proven to be quite effective repellents over the time. If you don’t want your car to smell, then you can use electronic deterrents like ultrasound or strobe light deterrents to annoy the mouse and force it to leave your vehicle.
Use traps
Finally, the most effective and old-school of getting rid of the mice problem. You can use the much-effective snap trap to remove the rodent from your car. Or you can use a glue trap to capture the mouse and leave the rodent at a remote location. It is always recommended to use the humane way of dealing with the rodent problem.
