How to Prevent Mice from Entering the Engine?
1 Answers
The following are some specific measures to prevent mice from entering the engine: 1. When parking, stay away from garbage piles or install protective plates. To prevent 'rodent infestation,' regularly inspect the engine compartment. 2. Clean the parking space or park the car in an open and clean area. Places where mice are active usually have their hiding spots nearby. It's advisable to organize items around the parking space and locate the mice's nesting sites to completely destroy them. If the surrounding environment cannot be cleaned, consider parking the car in a clean, open area when conditions permit. 2. Install underbody protective plates or wire mesh under the car's chassis to block mice from directly entering the engine compartment. This method is relatively expensive. 3. Use scent repellents. Mice have a sensitive sense of smell and are afraid of strong odors. You can use mothballs, perfume, etc., to repel them. Specific operation reference: Wrap mothballs in fine wire mesh and fix them in the empty space under the front hood. Electronic rodent repellents use electromagnetic waves or ultrasonic principles to drive away mice. Note that if the electronic rodent repellent is connected to the car's battery, remember not to leave it on for too long to avoid draining the battery.
