What to Do If Mice Keep Getting Inside the Car?

[VanAshley]

You can use the smell of mothballs or mentholatum to repel mice, or directly kill them with rodenticide. After killing them, it is necessary to remove the odor from the engine compartment, as mouse urine is not only pungent and unpleasant but may also attract other mice to enter the engine compartment again by following the scent. Additionally, change the parking location to stay away from areas where mice frequently appear, and regularly open the hood to inspect the engine and other components. Below are the disadvantages of mice entering the engine compartment: 1. Dirtying the car: Once mice enter the engine compartment, not only will there be various mouse droppings and fish bones left behind by mice in the engine compartment, but some mice may also build nests and give birth to baby mice on the air filter. 2. Causing damage to components: Once mice enter the engine compartment, they may chew on the car's wires, fuel lines, etc. This situation is very dangerous, potentially causing short circuits at the least and severe damage to the engine at worst.
