i had to take out my dashboard because mice built a nest in the HVAC boxes behind the dash. There was also a nest under the UIM... definitely not something I will be repeating

I had a mouse living in the center vent of my Scoot hood. I knew that I would never be fast enough to catch it by coaxing it out of the hood, so I taped all the vents closed with duct tape to starve him out. The guy lasted for 4 days before he angrily chewed through a weakness in one of the tape barriers. I then bought glue traps and put them all over my engine and under my car. The mouse managed to get trapped but escape from one of the glue traps. Next, I bought an electric mouse trap with baffles, where the bait sits on the other side of the trap with electrodes on the bottom. I checked the trap the next day and found the lil bastard fried to death.

The mothballs seems like a good solution though in combination with the electrocuting mouse trap.

One more testimonial for moth *****. An old school trick I learned from an antique car club friend. Some hardware stores, (usually ones in the rural areas) carry moth-cakes. Instead of the small ***** that melt every month or so, the large cake (a bit bigger than a bar of soap) last all winter long. Put them in an old bowl or pan, one under the hood and another inside the car. Maybe a few around the garage. They barely leave any odor in the spring and the advantages over poison are obvious. Since it's a repellant, the mice/rats won't crawl under your seat and turn into hairy frisbees by spring.

Were you just making a game of it, or haven't you heard of a $0.99 spring trap baited with peanut butter?

I tried the spring traps and the damn mouse would eat the peanut butter right off of the trap without setting it off. This was one smart bastard. It wasn't like I was intentionally trying to spend as much money as possible to find a solution.

I didn't want to try poison since the last time I used it in an old car, the damn mouse died in a inaccesible place and stunk like **** for a month.

I have the exact same problem haha, not all the time but enough that I'm used to seeing them...

Another trick is to bait with chocolate, and melt it onto the trap trigger. Then they are much more likely to set it off.
