What to Do If There Are Mice in the Car but You Can't Find Them?
3 Answers
Solutions for mice in the car that can't be found include: 1. Regularly clean the engine to avoid attracting mice; 2. Use substances like mothballs to repel mice with their odor. After repelling the mice, install a protective net under the car's chassis to prevent them from re-entering the engine compartment. The engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. The internal combustion engines used in cars typically convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. The engine block forms the skeleton of the engine and mainly consists of components such as the cylinder block, cylinder liner, cylinder head, and cylinder gasket. Cylinder blocks are generally categorized into standard type, crossflow type, and tunnel type.
As someone who has raised three cats, I have a lot of experience with mice getting into cars. The last time I found mouse droppings in the engine bay, I immediately did three things: First, I removed all snacks from the car, even vacuuming up bread crumbs from the seat gaps. Then, I stuffed two packs of mothballs into the air conditioning intake—mice can't stand the smell. Finally, I ordered a car-specific anti-rodent hedgehog net online and installed it behind the wheel hub. The next day, there were no new traces of mice, and even the car wash guy said this trick works better than ultrasonic rodent repellents. Remember to wrap any loose wiring under the hood with flame-retardant corrugated tubing, as mice love chewing on wire insulation.
Our repair shop handles several cars damaged by rats every month. It's advisable to park your car on concrete surfaces away from green belts and check all rubber plugs under the car for integrity. A clever trick is to soak cotton balls with peppermint essential oil and place them in the air filter box—much safer than setting mouse traps. Last time, a customer spent two thousand yuan repairing chewed wiring harnesses, which could have been prevented by simply spraying chili water on the engine guard plate beforehand. If you can't locate the rat nest, take the car to a repair shop to lift the chassis and inspect near the transmission—that's the warmest spot rats love to nest.
