We have a 2009 Prius and the only complaint we have about it is that mice get in on a regular basis. We have removed a mouse nest from the glove compartment and the dealer has removed a huge nest that was on the filter that is behind the glove compartment. The last time we took our car to the dealer…

If they are chewing the wiring, then a thin coating of Tabasco sauce will prevent that from happening.

It seems like you could at least keep them out of the passenger area and glove compartment by keeping the windows up and doors closed when the car is left unattended. Or is there a way for the mice to get inside the passenger compartment even with the doors and windows shut? Also, go to a local fee…

It’s amazing how small an opening mice can fit through, hard to block them all. Time for a cat.

We have caught dozens of mice with it. At least we know we are keeping them in check. Since we don’t…

Two stray cats have been so successful hunting in my yard that there hasn’t been a single mouse caught in my basement traps this winter. Usually there are 6 or more snagged over the winter.

It is an ongoing war at my house. Let me say, you can win some battles but the war will never be over. The point of ingress is in all likelyhood through the air inlet snorkel. This is right above the glovebox/cabin filter in most cars. Look down through the exterior valence panel and you can see a s…

. NO CAR is mouse proof. I wouldn’t be hard on yourself about the purchase. Continue to be aggressive about killing them.
